I have a 9' 7wgt that's been in use for 30 years. I pretty much just use it for mouseing now in the early part of the year though,,good rods!
Is yours a glass rod or ?
My research shows the Phillipson made a lot of bamboo rods at the time - and the glass rods were made it imitate their actions.
I only got to put one of his rods together and give it the old wiggle test..... It was pretty obvious that she would flex right down to the handle on a good fish.
I put an offer to buy one, in his ear. We'll see what happens
