Hello,

Long shot: I've just read about your VR Design Trutta Perfetta in blue color. I would like to ask if you would be interested in selling it and what would be your asking price.

Thank you.

Sorry, but no. If you haven't yet approached Vlad directly I recommend that you do.
Good luck in your search,
James.

Hello Neil,
sorry for the late reply, the reel arrived next day. I'm really happy with the purchase, it's in fantastic condition. I had one of these years ago and sold it in favour of a Greys disc drag/large arbour reel. Over the years I've decided that click and pawls are for me, so it nice to go full circle and arrive back at the begining.

Again many thanks, tight lines, Jon.

Hi Neil, sorry for my late reply busy working and fishing... :) I have managed to loop under a loop and you are correct it is epoxy. Sorry for the previous reply. I am very happy. All the best, Martin :)

Hi Martin, thanks for letting me know. Glad it is resolved.
If you ever fancy adding the identical twin to your collection, let me know. Time wasting fools on FB driving me potty!

Hi Neil, thanks for the reply. It is 100% wear to the ring and unfortunately not epoxy ( i wish it was) it is slayed out with the line wear. I will send more photos to your email address and you will see more clearly, as I was limited to scale and size on this reply. I will do this later this afternoon. Thanks Martin

Hi Martin, yes please do send on better photos. Sorry about this. I checked the rod over thoroughly and did not see it. I don't know how a ring can be worn given the little use the rod saw - hence being in excellent condition.
Let me know what you want to do. I am happy to take the rod back and refund you or swap for my other XD. I'll make sure to more vigorously check all the rings.

HI Martin, I checked my other rod and it was identical but it had the same on both sides of the ring second ring. I sent photos to a rod repair chap who confirmed that it was epoxy, not wear, and that I could gently remove it with a Stanley or similar. It popped off with little fuss.

Hi Neil, I am sorry I have not replied sooner, I did not get any notification regarding these messages...
I received the rod on Thursday evening, thank you. I must admit the rod is is excellent condition overall, except the penultimate eye, unfortunately it is quite worn, I have attached some photos. Many thanks Martin

Hi Martin, I believe that is an excess of epoxy/ sealant from the wrappings for the ring. If it was wear it would appear slimmer, not thicker. The rod was never fished with enough for there to be any wear and it is always the tip ring which will show signs of wear first. The tip ring was absolutely perfect.

Hi Diawl Bach, thought I'd message here instead of my post on fishing in South Wales in March. Just would like your input on what gear to bring? I haven't fished in a river outside of USA before. I am bringing said mentioned 9ft 5wt rod (cane) various flys, floating line, 3lb/5lb tippet and then a pair of waders. Would this be sufficient? I want to carry light as I will be travelling by train.

Hi Martin, funds received. Many thanks.

I will post you the same rod from the photos. I think the handle looked the best on that one. The rods are immaculate and if you are bothered, the cork handle will scrub up well.

Hi Martin, my PayPal is davitt.neil1@gmail.com

What is your address to post the rod to?

I have another 10ft 6wt XD that I will be putting online once this rod is sold . . . just on the off chance you might want to buy the pair. Both rods in excellent condition.
