Just discovered that for £950 I can have a cane pike fly rod. It looks stunning and very very tempting!
Built by Rawson and Perrin, it cones in either 7’6, 8′ or 8’6 lengths, all for an 8 weight and designed to lay down big flies.
Its whipped in gold and green to match the Pikes colouring. Beautiful
