Ryder Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hi Raiders, Here is a vintage Butterworth blackfish rod custom built in Narrabeen by Grahams. The colour of the blank made me think it was Snyderglas, but when I showed Royce he confirmed it's Butterworth and predates Snyder by more than a decade, early 70's. Its the classic see thru red, with underbound black Fuji guides. It's Butterworths version of a Sportex 662, and when placed side by side the length and taper are identical. It's in great usable condition, binding show a bit of age but still OK. I've matched it up with an Avon Royal making it a classic combo. I can't wait to get out and use it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazatherfisherman Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Pity they don't make them any more, they are great rods. Is it a BF 3144/4144 by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
