An awesome restoration.
Thank you for sharing. ❤
So good mate. Great history and an awesome rod.
bought plenty of gear back in the day from Bob Turton and Barry Clark at West End Sports, that is probably a Snyder glass blank. Still have a number of rods in use including a 4144 Blackfish rod (around 30years old). Best blackfish rod for ocean rocks I have ever used
Good to hear. I wasn't sure if it was a Butterworth or Snyder blank. Either way they are both good blanks.
Hi, I remember Gary being there at West end Sport & Tackle as well. Taught me to Fly fish back in the early 90's
Can't remember if it was Gazza or Bazza one of them did.
Cheers Steve
@@letsgofishing3249Geoff Allen was a friend of mine he was the person who built their fishing rods.
Looks great Ed ! Can’t wait to see you land a fish on it ! The blank looks near on identical to the Snyder MT 4144 I built in the early 90s and my mate still uses it as a general purpose light beach rod - reminds me I still have the Snyder mag bream i also built in the 90s I want to tidy up .
Great info. As you know I love the old rods👍
I just dug out my old ocean blackfish (luderick) rod which is 45 years old. You have inspired me to restore this rod for my grandson who has turned out to be a keen fisherman.
That's great 👍
I have the exact opposite story, grew up fishing with my grandpa on his small boat, just found the rods we used to use 20 years ago, my plan is to restore them and get my own boat to use them on.
took my 40 year+ old rod fishing on Friday!
Good morning I have a old fishing rod it'very old it must be about 80 yr old how do I check the what the ploe. Is worth can I get anything for it
You can also check out some groups on Facebook on rod building and get in touch with people in the know.
I have a fishing 80 to 100 years. How do I find out how much. It's worth. Can I get anything for the ploe
Research it on Google and/or get some advice from your local tackle store.
Hi Edd just wondering what type of epoxy did you put on the blank of this rod to bring it up to be amazing. I want to restore one of my late fathers rods and i would like to restore it as good as you did to yours. Thank Edd love your channel
I like to use Rod Building Thread Sealer first and then Erskine Epoxy 👍
Impressed as ever with your skills Ed, nothing like the feeling of glass for casting and playing fish.
Thanks mate appreciate the comment. I can't get enough of these blanks.
Well done mate, watching from Oregon 👍
nice restoration nice to hear the history of the rod as well
Thanks, I enjoy restoring old rods.
Good job Ed. Just watched your tailor & Jew vid - a great way to christen a refurbished stick 👍🏻
Thanks mate 👍
What type of wood did you use for the spike?
Just some hard wood I had lying around.
The older blanks were something special, Ed, and there was always a magical feel walking through the doors of one of the traditional fishing shops, having a yarn, browsing the walls full of tackle, peering through the glass cabinets...losing all concept of time. You don't get that same feeling walking into BCF.
No BCF just doesn't cut it....lol
Looks great Ed, looking forward to seeing the old girl starring in future videos.
