Yes, Early Phenolic glass with brass ferrules. A similar action and feel to the Edgar sealey 'Black Arrow' of the same time, but a more basic build. I have a couple to restore sometime. There were several other glass rods made by Chapmans, but so far only the Hunters have come my way. since my original post on the first hunter i had I've had another five, plus the glass ones, all since then I have restored myself, the last one only a few weeks ago, another 12' early version not an SP, but the previous ones were a 14' and three more 12' versions. still one of my favorite rods when gravel pit tench are the targetBoltonBullfinch wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 9:44 pm Did Chapmans make a fiberglass hunter 1000 rod?

Could that be Anglers' World Holidays Terry Smith of Sheffield and his "Scandinavian System" ?Greentura wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2012 12:34 pm
... I am toying with building a 15' version using the butt and mid sections of a 14' with a FJT roach top section to get the extra length and having a screw in weight to act counterbalance, I have a jerry smith rod with this system (16,18&20' different weight for each length) which can be held all day due to the balance being so good.
It’s the most direct route certainly and Paul would most definitely know if he did the refurb.Hyrsch wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 4:49 pm Hi to you all,
I have got a little question concerning a hunter 3 piece rod that was offered to me.
The rod seems to be in a very good condition and the seller is stating that the rod was refurbished by Paul Cook.
Is there anyway for me to find out if the latter is true?
Should any supporting paperwork exist or is this not how it’s done by someone like Paul Cook?
The seller said I could contact Paul Cook asking for his name and the rod?
Is this really the only way to find out?
Thanks for your thoughts on this
Kind Regards
Lars
