Re: Any Idea
'The Dorset' is a 3 piece rod which came in 11ft. and 12ft. versions ... and one 12 footer I brought back to life which had an additional 'short' tip which I was told the late owner used when barbel and leger fishing (possibly a 'home made' addition as I've not seen another).
That rod can be seen in this thread :-

Re: Any Idea
I use a Dorset and a Dorset Deluxe(and a Rushton)and although the whippings are similar they are a little finer than on your rod and they of course have the the usual transfer.Is it similar to the Foravon mentioned in another current thread?
