All this talk of 40 mm butt rings ..
I'd be happy to find out if it's possible to get a 10ft rod in 40 mm ,either 2 piece or retractable in 2.75 tc..
Any advice ?

You could have a look at the Korum Opportunist, my 2.25's have 30mm butt rings I think, not sure about the 2.75's.

Hopefully carp rod design is going full circle and 40mm is going to become the norm.
Every time I see a 50, I want to tie a net to it and throw a basketball at it lol.

40mm and they are reputed to be the same rods that Cotswold Rods are selling for a lot more money.

I'm absolutely gob smacked that you want 40mm butt guides on any rod mate, let alone a ten footer.
The Nick Buss X-lites I had rebuilt last year using the Fuji New Guide Concept are great in use, the line absolutely whistles through the 25mm butt guide.

Doubt as much as you like mate, I understand you are a respected rod builder however, my tape measure reads 35mm internal dimension of the butt ring.
They appear to be made by a company called Seaguide.
