Does John Mc ginn still make rods???
Many years ago I used to work for a customs agent and I was instrumental in the supply of the carbon fibre for his rods. He imported it from the UK and from memory it was aviation grade material.
I should have bought some of his blanks back then, he made the offer, but I was not a fisherman then.
GO THE CRUISER UTES!
....OH WHAT A FEELING!
