TT opinion: A Dawson of Bromley Challenger 10′ 2-piece split cane carp rod in good vintage condition. Green whipped low bridge guides with red agate tip ring, keeper ring, 31″ 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 non original cloth bag.
