Hi,
Loving this forum and learning lots but wondered what the level of interest is on uk vintage tackle? (I guess that’s a broad question, sorry) This was just a thought prior to telling about my latest acquisition- an 8.5 ft vintage fly rod that appears to be built on another Fibatube blank. I bought the rod as an East Anglian Rods Company rod on account of the bag that has their label. The rod has no obvious identification on the blank but then when cleaning it up I noticed that the butt cap had the Edgar Sealey twin fish logo. A while back I had posted about Edgar Sealey rods and a forum member , Pampas Pete had asked about Sealey branded rods built on Fibatube blanks . Well now I seem to have found one, possibly.
I will post pics of the rod to follow . The blank is identical to the 8.5 ft Colonsay rod I have though the whipping is different. I know there seemed to be quite a bit of ‘cross breeding’ among uk manufacturers in terms of components and brandings used etc Any info or thoughts ?
