    hi rob ill find out the name of the frames im using and let you know i certainly do live in yamba and is probably one of the only places in australia you can buy a bent tip off the shelf these days ya probably bought ya rod from the bait and tackle in the main street probably owned by ray rienberger my father used to built rods at that shop about 30 years ago does ya rod have a pic of a shark on a gold background? anyway 30 years down the track and i am now custom building the rods at yamba bait and tackle usually stock a cuople of each bt that hotrods mentioned

    by the sounds of it it was a butterworth blank ill have a look for a bt but i have a 5136 straight tip in the shed

    Re: bent tip rods.

    thanks ryan
    yes it was a butterworth, of the old style rods it was a top bream rod, the 4120 looks to be too heavy? cr4126 and the like used to be like spaghetti do you know if there still the same? if a bt doesn't turn up would you part with one in shed?
    rob
    ps i remember that insignia ,we just bought the blanks
