I’m hoping it will be a good match with the drennan Avon rod I’ve got gathering dust in the workshop. Although I’m not really optimistic.Of course you do. The pin deserves it

Now that is proper Old School gear. FantasticNowadays I don't do much trotting so most of my centreline haven't been used for that application for some time. I purchased a nice clean Rapidex last year. I brought it primarily for barbel fishing where long casts aren't required it makes a perfect match for an old Hilton 10ft 6 glass rod
I find my old centre pins go well with my cane rods. It's a pity I got rid of my Allcock Aerials.Nowadays I don't do much trotting so most of my centreline haven't been used for that application for some time.

I actually prefer the action of a nice soft throughactioned glass rod for the playing of fish. Even a 8oz chub will put a good bend in the rod. Many carbon rods are too stiff in the butt and too tippy for my liking.Now that is proper Old School gear. Fantastic
I guess it would be similar to the Peter Stone Ultralites which were based on his Ledgerstrikes. I had a pair lovely rods regretted selling them.When I cleared out my in laws house I found one of my old glass rods that I built over 40 years ago. The design was based on a cane ledger strike, with a lovely through action something that not many of my carbon rods have.
