Short cane tench / carp rod recommendations.

[Cat]

Hi Catfish, that's very kind of you to offer. I'd certainly be interested as I seem to have a bit of time at the moment.
Thanks Cat

Don't worry, no hurry, the world won't end (well, actually)!

There are two Barder Carp Crawlers for sale currently.

I'm sorry Cat I still can't put my hands on it. I'm beginning to wonder if I've moved it on and forgotten?

[Cat]

Hi,
No worries...if you come across it, just let me know. And, thanks for your reply Beresford, although I'm not sure I should indulge in a Barder in the current climate, and I think my wife may rip me limb from limb (obviously in a caring empathic way) as there is no way of receiving a rod without being found out at the moment!
Regards Cat

Yes tricky times at the moment… there are quite a few spinning rods that might suit your purposes. I often think the Sharpes ones tend to survive in remarkably good condition.

Evening All,
Well, on the back of your various recommendations i've purchased a Milwards Spinversa 8' 9" in need of restoration. Cheapish as chips...the cane is solid, but it needs new ferrules (purchased), re-whipping, varnishing and one new low bell. So, I don't suppose anyone knows where I may get a quite unique intermediate from please, (otherwise I'll have to replace the lot, and that'll be a shame)? It's the single opposing leg design (and I'm sure there's a correct term it).
Recommendations for whipping thread as well please, as I don't suppose I'll be able to get the original.
A nice rod that needs a little TLC.
Thank you and regards Cat

Hi Cat, could you post a photo of the ring and tell us the diameter?
