For Sale Two butt sections for sale

[tonyfromalnwick]

I have a couple of butt sections here, one for a Ron Thompson Axellerator 13'6 (the stiff one), and an Imax biceps 3-5 oz.

Both in very good condition, both tip sections snapped a few inches down. I still have these, if the buyer wants them.

The Axellerator would make a very good conger rod, not sure what you could do with the Imax.

Looking for £30 each, buyer collects from Alnwick.

 

[wheres the fish?]

Both snapped? This a common problem?

Both snapped? This a common problem?

No idea. I've never heard of an Axe snapping.

 

[wheres the fish?]

Was it during the cast mate?

 

[tonyfromalnwick]

Retrieve.
The Imax went on a cast. About 20 yards into the river Aln, using a 4 oz lead. I suspect the line was wrapped around the tip....my fault for not checking.

 

[tonyfromalnwick]

It has been suggested that the butts could be cut down to make these into boat rods.
Just a thought.

[tonyfromalnwick]

Down to £50 for both butts and shortened tips collected from Alnwick.

The rings and reel seats alone must be worth a few quid
