Chapman Hunter 12'

Post by Mark »

Does anyone have any close up pictures of a Chapman Hunter 12' rod. I would like to see what the whippings and rod label look like.

There are a few different versions of the 12' Hunter some have intermediates and some don't, even some 'SP' versions still have intermediates. Some have rubber button, keeper rings, finishing rings at the top of the cork and a mixture of all these features, only one of mine has the gold oval and that's at Mikes awaiting a new tip section (second hand) to be found and a new cork handle so I can't photograph that one but i think it's the same as the restored one (intermediates and rubber button)
