Hi guys, I have seen this for sale, £50.00 (to inc a Mitchell reel). I believe it to be a Marco Arun. Does the tip section look about right? It looks quite stout to me. I have asked for better pictures..

Difficult to say much from that image but, judging by length and what I can see of the tip ring, it looks to me as if it’s lost a couple of inches from the tip.

Yes, as above, to short.
I have a couple of Aruns, some Aruns came with an extra tip that was shorter, shorter than your one.
The extra tip I understand was to shorten the rod if you needed a bit more power.

If you like it try an offer.
It has been on (unmentionable) for a couple of weeks at £60 and was reduced yesterday or Monday.

He he! No flies on you lot! I have signed up to meet some of you at the gonk-fest, and also with "Grumpy" (home-game) on the Chelmer.. I have a confession..Mea culpa, Mea culpa, Mea maxima culpa! I do not own a wooden rod! (There, I have said it, and feel much relieved!). I wondered if this might be a usable float/light-leger rod?

Fear not, it’s not compulsory. About a third of my vintage rods a fibreglass and a couple combine the two materials! I suppose my real passion is very early glass.

Thank you @Duckett (Phil) I am just about old enough to remember cane rods with new-fangled "fibre-glass" tips..
I am loving getting used to 'pins, and my only old rod is a 1966 'glass "Hardy by Gordon's" Matchman. Currently in the tender care of Fredline of this parish..

Hardy also made the Mitre range, some of which were a mix of glass and cane... I have a Zephyr with a glass butt and cane middle and tip
