Great. That's the same as mine. Do you happen to have the original bag for it. I have with mine + its B James & Son label

Ok. I think now for my part the subject of early B James fibreglass rods has run its course. So I would like to thank all those who have made a contribution to the post. Thanks

Re: The beginning of the end? An early fibreglass rod
Hi David, I have a 14’6” 4 piece similar to yours. It is definitely a b.james only rod. A beast to use! I shall put up some pics. PS I also have a b.james, not b and w , avon type rod that needs a total rebuild. There is a thread here somewhere i started under traditional rods then fibreglass section. Cheers Ed.David wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:08 pm I know this is a very old post but I have only just found it. I have a match rod built by B James & Son that looks very much like the rod in question. Although mine is a 3 piece 13ft 1inch Match rod without a separate handle. It has its original cloth bag and label. It is the same colour and marked above the cork handle, B James & Son England. What is worth noting is that this rod and my rod are joined together in the opposite way to others. The male connecting piece is on the top section and pushes in to the female ferrule on the lower section and the next lower section join in the same way as split cane rods joined. All later rods have the female connection on the top piece that fits over a male spigot on the lower sections like all later rods join.

What colour glass is your rod made of. Is it the same as the rod that first started these posts ?

So does that mean it is not a blank made by B James & Son ?
