550

Post by Chelsea »

Hi Chaps

I have an early chapmans 550 carp rod that’s in need of a make over. I’ve read on the forum a few times of about Dr Cane and his wizardry with such a rod.

Can’t seem to find him in the members section? Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks!

Dr cane is Wallyscast, if Wal is too busy, try Crucian (Paul),
Both are excellent restorers.

Another very good artisan rod restorer is Jeremy Croxall and he is often recommended by Dr Cane, when he himself is too busy….

Who! Never heard of him!
Seriously chaps the man is a genius. He has done some marvellous refurbishments for me and is a whiz at recreations and repurposing of rods to suit your particular angling requirements. Highly recommended. :Thumb:
