Good afternoon Gents
Knowing I had an interest in cane roods, a neighbour handed this in to me from a family member no longer fishing.
I appreciate it doesn't look top quality. I am not often stumped, but can't put a name on it.
Its 10'6".
Any thoughts or wisdom. Thanks and regards.

I think they were Japanese inports but they normally have chrome plated ferrules. Having said that I've seen that style of whipping on solid glass Milbro rods.
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

I had an identical rod to that one. Pretty sure it was a cheap import rod but it served for general fishing until something better came my way. I even caught a 10lb carp on it though the cane never quite resumed it's normal shape again!

I also had one like that. Definitely an imported rod from the far east.

Re: Identification please
Yeah remember that whipping very well, my old man lost a section of one just like it from the roof rack of his Hillman Imp.
