Re: Marco 'The Exe'
Very impressive. Hopefully your example will spur other forum members into having a go at rod restoration and so become true artisan anglers. ![Hat Off :Hat:](./images/smilies/icon_takehatoff.gif)

The coiled line travels from the reel, it brings up at last, the hook goes home, and then begins the test of skill. "BB"
Re: Marco 'The Exe'
You're right, Wal! Should have re-named it 'The Lomond' and christened it with a 40lb+ Scottish pike!Wallys-Cast wrote:A very useful rod and a very nice job you've made of it too. It would be a brill boat rod for pike.
Wal.
ABU 5000/6000, 25lb line, very large dead-bait.
(Forgot to mention it earlier, but the rod weighs just 13oz, balances 8" from top of handle. With ABU 5000 on, 2" above handle. Beautifully balanced).
