I may just have had a moment of weakness. Having bought some reels from a new contact this week along with a Milwards Cadet and a glass spinning rod I received a message offering me a Swimversa and a Precision Festival...
Anyway I'm picking them up on Monday!

Re: Impulse buy
lucky thing, 2 desirable rods from great makers
Are they good condition or need some restoration?

Re: Impulse buy
The Swimversa i have held. It has had 2 guides replaced crudely and needs the tip straightening so a work in progress. The Festival i have only seen photos of, but from description will need a light refurb with new guides, but from the photos appears sound enough.
