New purchase
Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2024 9:24 pm
Hi all
I've just bought this on the unmentionable auction site -7', 3 piece fly rod, for not very much money.
I asked the usual questions and it appears sound and straight with tight ferrules.
The bottom reel collar band is stamped 'THE COLONEL' so I'm hoping it might be an Allcocks fly rod, but I've not heard of a 3 piece version.
As to the action, casting weight, etc., who knows, it might be a pig in a poke!
Yet to be delivered, but hopefully a good brook/ small river rod to cherish.
Any thoughts / information, welcome.
John
