here is a photo of a very rare Allcocks Lake. 3-piece spinning rod for salmonids or small pike. It should be 9 ft 6 long. Unfortunately it is not in my possession... :Cry:

What is that thing on the handle? It doesn't look original.

Possibly a piece of rubber - as the screw winch fitting is either broken or is painful on the hand.
A correct screw winch fitting photo can be found here:-- A SUPERB VINTAGE ALLCOCKS PERFECT 9' HEAVY SPIN OR CARP ROD IN QUALITY BAG on that auction site

I would love it but - - - - - I have a later version with a different name.

A good spot DC. I don't think it's in any of the Anglers Guides.
