Twinfisher 4.9 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Looking for a Silaflex FT70 (made by Brownings in the US) either rod or blank. There were thousnads imported into Oz, so hopefully one or two still around. Please let me know via PM if you know where there may be one hiding.

Paikea Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 A great blank, I had one made up with an aluminium extended butt, terrific all round rod. Sometime ago I removed the ally butt and rebuilt the rod for general boat fishing. One of my favourites. Sorry I cannot help you to locate one. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinfisher 4.9 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thank you Paikea, had the good fortune to meet the late Jack Erskine who gave me the guide placements for the aluminium extended butt. It is a magic blank, can cast unweighted prawns off the rocks or a 4oz snapper lead - neither a problem. Once dead lifted a 13lb tuna onto the rocks with mine. Can't see a current blank matching all that! I'll keep searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
