FS/Swap Cane rods for beginners fly gear

[Dave]

I was given a mass of second hand fishing gear for Christmas. Most id for
coarse fishing whereas I am heading in the fly fishing direction. With the
gear are two old split cane rods. An Allcocks Sapper 3 piece and an Allcocks
Harry Pughes 2 piece. I don't think as a complete beginner I can justify
using and maybe breaking one of these beautiful rods as I learn but I think
they deserve to be used.

So if anyone would like to make me an offer to buy them or to swap them for
suitable kits for a beginner then great!

Both of these, the Sapper and the Hughes Parry, were last made in the late
sixties. They may be quite valuable to a collector, but very few people
would actually use them for fishing, carbon fibre has taken over. I would
try selling them on Ebay, be prepared to sell them on American Ebay, too.
Take a look at what is available and decide, selling is cheap on Ebay, I
have used the sites a lot for buying and selling.
