That's a lovely looking rod, exudes quality.
I do like the separate handle configuration.
It's got to be a keeper surely?

Looks very nice indeed!
I think that a 5lb chub would have been a very big fish when these rods were made - in 1983 Trefor West was talking about a big chub at 4lb 14oz in the book "Top Ten"!

Re: J Peek Kennet Perfection (restoration)
Thanks for your nice comments, not sure when I'll get to try it out due to shielding at present.
Oh well back to the next project, I'm sure I'll have gone mad if it were not for them and the garden.

Then again I may go for a easier option

I would just send that naughty MK4 to Wal, to firstly preserve my sanity, and secondly to save my ailing eyesight
