Re: Allcocks isis ???
At that price it looks like a bargain, Sir !
Take care ... the greenheart tips can be brittle, especially if they've been allowed to 'dry out' of their original oils, so I wouldn't be pushing for fish anywhere over 5lbs, ... but ideal for trotting for greyling or roach (hence, maybe, the 'Isis' name ???) on small rivers, ledgering for roach on the same rivers, or still waters and canals.
Just my thoughts ... I'm sure someone will be along soon with their suggestions.

The 'Isis' went through many changes over the years. The last of the series came with solid glass tips !!!

As AC says, there were many variations. I restored and sold one of the later ones with a solid fibreglass float top (but still a greenheart leger top) a couple of years ago and the handle on that was made from cork shives.
