They are a lovely rod. I bid just over £200 in the dying seconds, about six months ago on ebay. The rod sold for £243. I'd still like to get one, one day. I've no idea how many they made or if somebody who has one could measure the taper.

Ah, a Rayners Lane address rather than the usual South Ruislip one. Sadly it would appear they are no longer trading.

I’ll bring my original 00/00 CB Allrounder 11ft rod to the Trout Inn this Saturday.

Ah I'd love to see it but sadly I won't be there on 9 June. It's just too far for me to travel.

Here is a ‘Dark Destroyer’ taken on my Allrounder the other week - this rod has had many, many battles over the last 18-years with some fine adversaries including a few over 30lb.
