Picked up an Amtac 1209 blank today from Mike at M&Ds. Looks like that will be my new Canal Rod set up conventional. My old one is a cutdown Fenwick S Glass from the late 70s. 12mm ring Alconite tip, 6 guides from 12mm to 25mm. Thinking I will keep my 25 year old, red Abu 7000. I just replaced the bronze bearings with ball bearings last year. Now if I can find someone interested in my Newell 235F "Blackie", same vintage, almost no use, I would like to upgrade to a Abu 7000 Rocket.
