you can tell with the build on this rod mate its about the same
age as me (29) and has more than a few scratches and scuffs but the blank itself is sound and its still a cracking rod
not many rods around now that have lasted this long and are still
usable

just a quick question where the rod joins together at the wooden spigot
theres about a 1cm gap where you can still see the spigot when the rods connected together is this normal or has the spigot warped
mind its in tight and theres no vibration when you use the rod! any ideas?
