chapmans 500

[NiceRoach]

Well with nothing turning up locally, I've plunged into the Bay again for my latest punt.

I've gotten a 500 and to be fair the very ropey varnish job was reflected in the price ( hopes he ) and as expected
cane rods these days, come at a premium.



This is one of the better shots, so I hope you're all wishing me luck and not with a winter project rod

Well done! A fantastic rod, I|adore mine. Well worth spending time on it to get it to the standard you're happy with. I bet it will be a keeper, they are not easy to part with.
Congratulations on a fine acquisition.

Well done Sir, I nearly pressed the button right at the end. - but resisted. Great rods - I am sure you will do a spiffing job on it.

Fingers crossed it will be al you are hoping for. The rings I'm not look quite new .

You rarely hear a bad word spoken about the 500/550 rods.

Thank you - TFF'rs.

There's no fool like an old fool and cane is irresistible.

I know, I hesitated as well 'the varnish' I'm hoping is fixable, even by me, if not I've local help from a master.

Cane rods never go down in price?
