TT opinion:

A Davenport & Fordham ‘The Ivens Ravensthorpe’ 9’ 4” 2-piece split cane trout fly rod with staggered ferrule. Low bridge guides with transparent whips, bronze push ferrule with 7.5” alloy extension plug to prevent the tip from breaking. 8” cork handle with up screw reel fitting, the rod has seen little use, the cane is straight & the ferrule is good. No line rating marked but feels a good traditional #7, ideal for trout & sea trout, comes in a fitted cloth bag.
