Can you post about these when you've finished.? I'd love to see them, along with any tips and tricks.

A fishing buddy and me have collected 3 * 2.75 ballistas each and plan to rebuild them someday.

There are some rod building groups on fb, and tons of stuff on YouTube.

Shimano Baitrunner 4000 with the original single handles
NW 42” glass landing net and spreader block
2lb Tri-cast Legends and 1.25lb Fibatube rods built by Bob Morris
Original Solar stainless banksticks from when he just started Solar after making them for Rod H
Nash sacks and weigh slings
Wavelock 50” brolly

All still in working order, never serviced and I still use it now and then.

I wish I hadn't sold my Solar satellite monkey climbers with TB PTFE bobbins, mk1 swingers, Abu C5's, Optonic super compacts, Optonic conversions, Micron Minis though

Hi all

I've inherited a pair of Rod Hutchinson rods

‘Team Hutchinson' rods 12' 3lb TC - hand built in England

They are in a red colour similar to the dream makers

I'm trying to put a date / spec on them. Do they precede the dream maker mk1, or from a similar time period, or a lower model?

Struggled to find anything online

I do have pictures but wasn't sure how to post

Thanks

I had / have the same issue with a pair of RH burgundy rods I picked up, very little information online about them.
