I have a silver spigot cme. It has a slight cut on the grip tube due to coasters. The rod s in very good condition. The lazy sod that had it before me did not rince and dry it off properly. As a result the eyes started to rust through. These have been replaced and rewhipped and new high build finish by a profetional so the rod looks nearly new. Good pokey rod no softning and a good spigot. 160quid for hopefully a quick sale. Cheers. Ps u are welcome to try this rod before u buyif u wish
