2lb 6oz monster

I would not want to hold this for long especially with the appropriate reel and as for a fish that it was ment to catch you would definately need to be built like a brick ****house! I do like the whippings on it (does anyone recognise them)its 9 1/2 ft long and there are no makers details it has a broken butt ring and a replacement tip eye so Ithink it will end up as a landing net handle.

Looks like a Marco nymph I picked up last year. Very similar fittings and whippings.

Mine is now a landing net handle!!

Hi LuckyLuca
Did you use the ferrules or some other way of joining the cane and how long did you make it.

Hi Harry,
As you say, these things are beasts!
I removed the rings, cut the handle above the fitting and refitted the butt cap.
Would have liked to keep it full length but it was just to heavy. I kept the original ferrules and used a
Keep net adaptor as a fitting on the end for the net.

Before you get drastic on it, you might see if member "Hamburger" is interested in it: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=8747&hilit=sea+rods

"Trad" sea anglers are a bit thin on the ground, it would seem.

Hi Harry,
I have been going through some of my old sea fishing tackles and have been reading some interesting post on TFF.
I came across this one and thought.... "I've one of them" there were no photos available though.
My one is 9ft and yes a beast!
It was made though when 20lbs Cod were caught on piers!
I am going to give my one a little refurb and along with a big wooden centerpin and a knotted hanky for a hat, take it for an airing this summer just for the romance of it on a pier, if can find one that you can still fish from? Herne Bay they say you can, but I will double check that.
Is your one like this one?

I don't remember the rod but then again I'm struggling with what happened yesterday let alone 11 years ago
I do go sea fishing every now and again, normally off Walton Pier.

I still have a Chapmans Walton to restore waiting in the getting around to it pile.

That looks a nice set up Harry, nice rod and reel.
I bet the Chapmans Walton is a nice rod.
I have a few old sea rods... quite a few and lots of reels too.
This is my old 7000.. not as pristine as your one!
I wished I kept the original handle! I took it off around 15 years ago and must have thrown it away!
Hopefully your get out on that pier in the summer.
