Very impressive. Hopefully your example will spur other forum members into having a go at rod restoration and so become true artisan anglers. :Hat:

Wal.
You're right, Wal! Should have re-named it 'The Lomond' and christened it with a 40lb+ Scottish pike!

ABU 5000/6000, 25lb line, very large dead-bait.

(Forgot to mention it earlier, but the rod weighs just 13oz, balances 8" from top of handle. With ABU 5000 on, 2" above handle. Beautifully balanced).

Cracking job there, that would be a stout carp stalker.
