Lucky so and so! Tricast rods are superb, generally, and the two you mention date from PC (that's pre-carp) when they were making highly regarded rods for light line fishing for roach, bream etc.
I've had several over the years, from spliced-tip stick float rods, via bream feeder rods to big-fish poles, and never had one that wasn't a pleasure to use.
There's an interesting local (fairly) connection you might like to look up. I bought a 10 metre carbon pole, one of the first available, around 1980/1. It was made by Fothergill and Harvey from Littleborough, near Rochdale, and came in a luxury case which housed each section separately. It was a thing to marvel at, at that time. A few years later, I traded it up part/ex for a much lighter creation from Tricast at Eddie Battersby's shop in Swinton, near Salford, Tricast being the company which Fothergill and Harvey became, or gave rise to.
So the rods coming your way are classy items with a bit of pedigree.
