Greys Prodigy

[Fred Cubbie]

I just bought a greys prodigy 12ft 3lb test carp rod but when the 2 pieces are connected the rod doesn't join, there's a small piece of the conector showing ? would anyone know if this is right.
I have E Mail'd Greys but there in no rush to anwser so i was hoping anyone on the forum could help.
Cheers..
Fred..

to allow for wear to the male section of the joint

 

[Fred Cubbie]

It's known as a spigot joint Fred.

As opposed to it having a put-over joint were the top section fits over the lower section, or a put-in joint where top section fits into lower section.

Spigots are the most commons joints on carp rods as they keep the blank nice and slim throughout.

If you ever get a second Prodigy to match be sure to mark both sections of the rod underneath and out of site with a small spot of white paint. This will keep the rods matched together as they were intended.

good advice woody me ole muka, although if using three rods, you could always paint them different colours. Say paint one totally white, one red and perhaps one yellow. I'm sure us fashion freak carp boys will soon follow suit, you know what we're like mate!!



here, anyone got any 'fox' paint?

[Stuart Dennis]

?82? That seems like a fair price Ed, do you get a sticker as well?

 

[Frothey]

[Fred Cubbie]

I use Plasti-kote from B&Q, Yellow GLow B29, Orange Glow B27 and Green Glow b28 on my three carp rods and barbel rods magic stuff very quick drying and nice and bright fluoro colours.

 

[Stuart Dennis]

looks like a nice bird on your arm there Welsh? she got any sisters?

 

[NottmDon]

Is the Nash paintbrush left or right handed? Would only consider buying camo paint if it was realtree of course

Why bother to match them up? If you use the Grey warranty they just send a new section, no matching up going on there

I have 3 and love them to bits, i find putting them back in the rod bags keeps them as they came.
