Now here's a rod that I never heard of until today.

Re: Allcocks Combination
Sadly that one isn't complete, it should have 6 sections to make up a variety of rods, one went for a silly (low) price a few months ago:

Allcocks were still making a combination rod in the late 60's, but by then it had fibreglass top sections. I've got some of the sections of one of the later versions and the first two sections are some of the strongest and straightest pieces of whole cane I've seen.
