Came across a rod yesterday the likes I have never seen before which is why I bought it as much as anything else. It was £22 by Playfair of Aberdeen on it and 16ft. Beautiful rod, green hart my guess and quite heavy. No ferrules just tapered ends. I looked it up and apparently these were bound by leather thongs and I didnt fancy going to a Anne Summers party but read electric tape was used at a later date.
I think the spliced joins an excellent idea, stronger than modern joins which is always the weak point in a rod, this must provide a better through action with no dead spots. Shame it could not be used on modern rods.
I am auctioning a collection of canes later in the month and this but might keep it; such a lovelly looking thing
