TT opinion: A Dawson of Bromley Challenger 9′ 2-piece split cane spinning rod in very good condition. Burgundy whipped low bridge guides with clear agate butt and tip ring, keeper ring, cork handle with sliding alloy reel rings & butt cap. The cane is straight, the ferrule is tight, quite a powerful rod, not as sloppy as the mk4, I would happily fish this rod today, comes in cloth bag.
