So ... when what looks to be a rod in good condition, with original whippings, and an original bag came up on a certain internet auction site ... only 25 miles from me ... and 'collect only' ... "Buy It Now" for £50 ... how could I NOT go for it !!!

Milward's Senior Featherlite
I can't believe that it's been about 7 years ago that I sold one of these rods after I had restored it ... and I always regretted it !!!

That is a very nice looking rod Mal and a bit of a bargain I'd say! Well done on spotting that one

Re: Milward's Senior Featherlite
Equally coincidentally ....
I am in the process of sorting out my users from my hoarders ready for Redditch and have found Mal's rod!
Pretty sure I did not know I had bought it from Mal at the time but there it is, "Restored by Ashby Cut 2013"
So if you would like it back, and you will be at Redditch .... it's yours.
