Hunter N.L
Good afternoon from a sunny Devizes. I have bought a Chapmans Hunter rod with what was described as a "shortened tip". I presumed I would need to find a new top section to make it good. Got the rod home and gave it a good check over. I reckon the tip is genuine and not short and was built like it. The label says "Hunter N.L" I presume that is New Look. I can't find any reference to them. Any information etc would be much appreciated. Regards all Ed.

John Chapman may have one, it's worth asking, he came up with a new tip section for my Amwell.
Thanks

Re: Hunter N.L
I got a Hunter back in 2018. This is the post it was discussed in. If you go down the first page, to LJM183s comment, Lee helpfully added a shot of a Chapman’s catalogue and an explanation of the difference between mine, the SP and your NL.

I’ve learnt since then that it’s a rod to use with a rod rest! With the hollow built handle and middle section but solid built top, it’s very tip heavy to hold for a long time, even when paired with one of my heavier Grice & Young ‘pins, a Twynham or an Avon Royal Supreme. However, if you need a longer rod capable of dealing with Tench and smaller Carp, it is very capable.
