Hi Guys

I am looking for a cane rod, preferably an older one from the 60's , ideally 7ft 6 ish to use with a 4 or 5 line. Does anyone know of any dealers in the South where I may be able to find such a rod, I guess I would have a budget of around a maximum of £200.
What would the cane experts out there suggest?

many thanks
Dave

I would go for a Sharpes Scottie Impregnated.
You should find a nice one for that sort of cash.

Hardy Neo cane, keep an eye on Fleabay.

You could try a best offer of £200 and see what happens...

Maybe have a look at the various tackle auctions around the country. Rods from makers like Constable, Fosters, Sharpes, Pezon et Michel regularly sell for less than £200 depending on condition.
Two Constable rods sold last week at Mullocks for £150 each, plus commission.

Thanks for the replies so far, sorry for the delay , I went fishing!

I think I will be happy with a Tim Harris and then try to find a Wallop Brook or similar.
