He you tried contacting any of the UK rod makers? Steve Parkes (AtomSix), David Norwich. I'm not saying they will be able to supply but that would be where I would start.

Hi Ive been looking for one too. Best prices in the us but postage makes it v expensive. I have seen david norwich has them for sale but to me expensive too. i have been thinking that it might work out cheaper to buy a cheap rod with tube!

Agree that these will be expensive, unless you're lucky enough to stumble upon one which is (a) the right size and (b) the right price.

The Sage versions here are on average around 50/60 quid

Just wondering why an ally tube, they were good suppose still are but I like the modern plastic cordura covered ones ,especially the triangular cross section ones ,even better the ones with internal dividers which stop me loosing rod bags .

I agree with Andy.I'm not fond of aluminium tubes as they rattle something terrible.Much prefer cordura covered plastic.

I know what your saying, my problem with cordura is they get dirty and are difficult to clean well and they deteriorate.

I just prefer Aluminium.

Anyway I have finally bought one from David Norwich.

So thanks to everybody for their help and advice.
