Last two posts made me smile, happy days

Regarding the swing tip, try and locate a screw tip ring and replace it on a small quiver rod

Or look for a Daiwa Jaguar

Interesting with the baitrunners, were they your carp rods in the day?

Looks like big game too?

I had the harrier feeder rods back in the day, and still have a lightening coil 10ft feeder rod that has been extensively used for everything from floater fishing, barbel, big chub, feeder fishing in ireland for bream, etc.
I recently found these unicorns and have set them up for small river use, but will also give the a dabble as small water carp rods just for the fun of it.

I have an excess of baitrunners so easy enough to put them on most rods, and the line is bass pro, from a 3lb spool...

It says 14lb on the spool in the picture and I agree it looks the same as big game.
