HI there
As it is now the end of the season and i have made the decisions for 2016 i want to give the forum members the chance to get their hands on some very sweet rods that i have been experimenting with this past year.
So....
For sale are 3 of the Prototype rods from the 2015 project. A 3wt, 4wt and 5wt all are built to roughly the same spec.
This one in the photo's is the 9ft 4pc 4wt blank finished in Olive green (as they all are), it has been built with a reversed wells cork grip, nickel and buckeye burl reel seat, 206 lined stripper guide and single leg snakes (not recoils) i whipped her in green and the finished rod is a very smooth casting medium fast action rod with fast recovery. Very much a modern incarnation of the Old Barrio Lightline series.
They are great fishing rods and are only for sale as i have decided to go with a matt finish blank for the 2016 rod. The rods are all very similar in action and suit the line weights they are specified for.

So i'm after £110 for each rod including UK delivery, they all come with a cordura reel on rod tube and are all in, as new condition.
Contact me by PM or email if you are interested.
I also have a couple of the 5wt blanks left over and would be willing to do a special price on those either as blanks or kits, if anyone fancies a great value winter project :z16
Cheers
