Hello all,
I picked up what I think is one of these earlier on today and am about to pull together my floater fishing gear to test it out on some carp. When I return I will post photos and compare details with the Chapman's website. In the meantime I thought I would ask you wise folk if any other cane rod makers did a similar rod?
Tight lines

If you look on Chapmans website the 700 should handle large with ease as well

Re: Did anyone "mimic" the Chapman 700
I almost confused the 700 with the 550 !!! The memory's going !!! 
The 700, or more properly named the named the 'Dennis Pye 700' is a pike rod.

Super for catfish though
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish
