Impulse buy from a reasobably local Hospice charity on an auction site. The rod was rather under described and I could have ended -up with a 6 foot ,broom handle of a boat-rod but I had a voice in my head going ,"Buy it now....Stop thinking about it. Part with the buy it now price of Β£5.99 you tight wotsit."
I picked it up today

9 feet long and looks to be original in length.
Inscribed RWB (RW8?) above "Capella".
The handle is 31 inches long
I would guess a powerfull freshwater rod . It has a lovely feel to it.
I've found information on Marco Capella de Luxe variants but my rod doesn't match the descriptions. It seems older to me and the intermediate whippings leave no space for a maker's logo.
Any information would be appreciated.
