... but when the chance to tick off a 'Bucket List' entry presents itself ... I simply HAD to !!!

I've twisted the Colonelgsc's arm into allowing me to become the custodian of his Edward Barder "Merlin" No. 12 built in 1995 ... an 11ft., 2 piece split cane 'avon' rod.

The photographs speak for themselves !!!

You are so funny Mal! Enjoy it of course.

She's a stunner AC! Congratulations sir...

Well done Mal.

It's the new bottle of '6 o'clock' gin I opened, Sir ... not me ... honest !!!

As discussed off topic...................enjoy all the memories it may bring.

Lovely rod, nice one

That most be a veritable forest of bamboo you have now, AC, hope she brings you much enjoyment on the river bank.

Very very very nice indeed mike

Oh dear, Mal's looking for the complete set now

You enjoy it mate, coupled with that Aerial you bought it will be a devastating combination

A lovely rod Mal, but it is strange that the rod had modern lined rings and threaded tip ring fitted. I can only assume that the original owner wanted it this way?
