The Fred J Taylor Roach rod. 

 Andrew made this copy of the Chapmans classic, with couple of slight modifications. The handle has been reduced down 2" so the overall length is 12' 4" rather than 12' 6". Personally I find it an improvement, at 30" the original does seem a tad long. Nickle-silver reel bands, ferrules, & butt cap. Hollow built butt and slightly hollow built tip section. 

 Wonderfully finished in classic claret whippings.    

 I've used this rod once on the Wye, so the rod is near enough new. It's a fine rod which deserves to be used more. 

 Rod will be posted via UPS or Parcel Force in a drainpipe/similar, it may take 3-4days to sort this out as have to arrange collection. Any further questions please ask. 

 Please note the "negative feed back" was due to courier being boom'in useless. "Problems with courier, all sorted by seller. Great communication. Very pleased with item, accurate description etc. Well done.
