thanks john
do you know where i might pick up a but section. bought a 2500m and the but section is shorter than it should be (a friend picked up the rod for me) so i only got half a rod

[JOHN1]

can it not be repaired or extended/ what lenght is it tip and butt
as long as the joint is good im sure you could put something together.

The equal section 2500M was a special called the Gemini, they were made for Nigel Forrest at BreakAway, I had one of thos and would give anything to have one now....fantastic rod. The standard 2500M had an 8' tip with a 5' butt section and as a match rod probably caught more fish than all other rods put together until the plug got pulled on them about 12 years ago.

i got the 1250m not that good at all...... waiting for a while longer till i can afford the 2500

Has your rod got 1250 written on the label ? if so could you post a photo of the label, it may be a special, Terry has done some funny things in his time and some of the rare rods can be worth a bob or two.
