Looking perfect in both conception and execution !!! Eagerly anticipating the report of it's first outing.

This only makes the wait until Redditch Spring Fair (when I hope to collect my Andrew Davis 'Festival Avon') seem interminable. It's going to be a loooong winter !!!

Beautiful! But then with a collaboration of such minds and skill it was always going to be.

Well done Gentlemen :Hat:

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

So here it is the Tactio named by my great friend Mal Baird 11' in length whole cane butt spliced into hollow built cane into the ferrule then twin tips light for the Kennet medium for the Thames both hollow built until 12" from the tip ring.
Am I biased of course wouldn't you be the feel is amazing better pictures on Saturday when I'm on the bank waggling this wonderous wand.
I need a drink feel free to critique

All the best Colin with what seems to be a splendid rod deserving of a 5lb+ Chub to christen it.
