SABINA - Any info re Dawson’s……
Posted: Sat Apr 15, 2023 8:51 pm
I have picked up a “Sabina” three piece 12 ft, dark cane with ferrule stops and a Dawson’s of Bromley bag off that Bay place for £50.00. The rod is in excellent condition.
I had a Sabina in my youth and many years ago, the tip section snapped after hooking a 20 plus carp while surface fishing - the carp escaped to add insult to the injury of the broken rod. I still have the rod and managed to make it usable if a good ten inches shorter.
I’ve been following the old thread trying to find something about Dawson’s and in particular the Sabina.
Can anyone tell me when the Sabina was first made and when the production of the rod stopped.
Is there a book about Dawson’s ?
