A truly beautiful rod Paul and yes you're a very lucky boy indeed.
Mr Davis does make exceedingly good rods.

Well done Paul - a very fine rod which I am sure you will put to the use for which it was made. Would be interested to know what reel you are thinking of pairing it up with?

Beautiful rod, I am very jealous of that butt ring and black reel bands. When Andrew built my crafty - which is also a sublime rod, I couldn’t source a ring or black bands.

Gentlemen, we are truly in the presence of genius when you look at the rods and reels produced by some of our friends here on TFF.
I reckon the hairs will stand up on your arms every time that you take that from its bag, enjoy!

Well Paul certainly worth the wait, what a gorgeous finish.
Those whippings look amazing if only mine would come out half as good as those. :Beg:What a stunning rod a lucky man indeed.
