It was the 1st full refurb I have done for a good few years, I took my time, and I am very happy with the overall finish.
The General was a slightly cheaper option from Hardy, it was designed for general bottom fishing and spinning, it has a lovely whole cane butt, and middle section, and a built cane tip.
The butt ring is a rather plain 500 style chrome ring, the tip being clear lined, I whipped the rings in a slightly darker shade of green than the original thread that tended to fade over time.
Tff's Allrounder got me onto this rod, having used it with lots success as an Barbel/chub rod for both float and ledgering, it certainly has some backbone to it during a scrap.
