I think i should.,be able to do this on here.
For the last few months i have been working on a concept fishing rod, some of you got a wee chance to play with it on Sunday. It has turned out to be a tad too expensive to produce commercially
Which is a shame as it is a fantastic rod and i think, quite a neat idea.
So listening to Terry Wogan this morning and his auction of things that money can't buy, it gave me an idea.
Why not run a mini auction for a unique fishing rod with all the proceeds going to Children in Need
So up for grabs is "The Barrio Outcast Concept no.5"
Its a 9ft 4piece 5wt fast action fishing rod. It comes with
TWO butt sections. One is for casting/practicing and has a slightly shorter grip and an anodised alloy reel seat.
The other Butt section has longer handle for comfortable fishing all day and a lovely nickel silver and an extra select buckeye burl reel seat. Both grips are high quality cork.
The rod is finished in Natural Carbon grey with royal blue whippings. It has single leg recoil guides and a Fuji cermet (Gold carbide) butt ring, this was chosen for minimum friction and does a fantastic job, the rings spacing has been optimised to improve the weight distribution and eliminate as much loose line friction as possible.
As far as action goes this rod is very similar to the Sage XP 9ft 5wt
and can match it cast for cast, its very light in the hand and is suitable for all forms of river and small stillwater fishing.
I think this is possibly the best rod we have built so far
So if you fancy owning a One off fishing rod that is something quite special, and want the proceeds to go to a good cause then make me an offer.
The starting bid has to be over £150
The winning bid, should be a cheque made payable to "BBC Children in Need Appeal"
Pm me for more details,
Children in Need is on Friday 14th November. I'll close this at Midnight on Friday. The rod can be tried out at Haddo anytime between now and then, but it is very good and just as described.
