The carp

Post by Black Prince »

Sat here one evening and looking through my normal sites came across a advert on eBay a two piece chapmans rod 10ft 2 the carp rod there was two photos that were out of focus a lady selling with a short description nothing to help there I won it the next 4days I was seriously questioning my sanity probably thrown money down the road it turned up didn’t look to bad to my untrained eye :Tongue: sent it off to forum member wallys cast it came back yesterday wow what a transformation it’s one beautiful carp rod ImageImageImageImageImageImage it now has agate lined tip and butt rings end eye threaded for a swing tip (my photos will not do it justice) I was like a kid at Christmas waiting for it to arrive the door opened before the delivery man had knocked it was crowned with a acorn ferrule protector a kind gift thank you wal it’s a work of art on its own I can’t wait to catch my first carp on it the Whippings are a dark green as are the intermediates the rod has been restored to better than new I will use a centerpin reel on it and a swing tip to catch my first carp on it thanks for everything dr cane :Ok: a very happy mike :fish: :fishing1:

Very nice rod and another cracking job from Wal :Thumb:

Wal's rebuilds are superb, as are his new builds... I only just got my Dawsons Medina back yesterday and as usual, Wal has done a stunning job, with agate tip and butt rings and low bells rings and a handle extension... He also made me a bankstick out of an old pole section as the pole I sent was beyond economical repair...
That Chapmans looks superb but then thats what you get with Wal... a top class job and stunning service...!
Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home
