Simano Super Ultegra

[Kenvis]

I have just bought a tip rod of a local chap, it is a Shimano Super Ultegra in very good nick, i have been out of the game for a while and have no idea if this is a good rod or not really, the only thing is with it, i cannot figure wheather the mechanism for attaching the reel is broken or not, or do reals attach differently these days, I paid £20.00 for it...cheers Davy.

It should have a fuji DPS seat which may look like its fitted upside down but is fitted correctly with the screw thread at the top.

You just mount your reel in the seat and tighten up the screw reel fitting and off you go.

Looks like you have got yourself a bargain.

most rods these days have screw type reel seats.

for 20 quid you have a bargain.

I think the reel fitting on mine is probably broken then...i thought it was to good to be true, i will post a pick of it later, thanks chaps.

Sorry what a dipstick!, the top of the handle rotates to secure the reel...lordy things have changed, could anyone tell me if i can buy new tips for my rod as one is broken and the other is 3oz which feels quite stiff, thanks alot Davy.

I thought I said it looks like its upside down :confused:

Yes Shimano do a whole range of replacement tips if its a medium quiver you will want the tips in the 1-2oz range.
