I am looking for a well used (read cheap) version of a decent match / float rod. The condition doesn't matter as long as the blank is whole.
I plan to strip it and rebuild it as an ultra light skeleton with lightweight guides and skeleton handle.
I am interested to see if it feels or fishes any better or even any different.
I don't expect much but it is an interesting project to pass a winters evening or two.
BTW you must be prepared to post to France, at my expense naturally.
