Well done Matt, you'll love it.MattMinter wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2017 5:11 pm Thrilled to have acquired one today, feels absolutely delightful in the hand. Roll on the Autumn, this rod will be Itchen bound.
I have a Mk1 which came to me with both a broken tip and a crushed butt. With a new tip and a repaired butt, it is now my favourite float rod by far.
I am careful with it though, the Mk2 is fine in the tip but the Mk1 is finer still.
That said, I regularly use it at a Devon lake which contains mainly crucians, but with a goodly amount of tench too. The tench run to about 3lb and as you can imagine, fight rather well...
A delightful rod Matt, enjoy
