QuestionMac - I'm restoring a Montague Rapidan, 9' 3/2, and need new ferrules. I see what Golden Witch offers and Jann's Netcraft, but would like to use new old-stock (NOS) if it's available. Do you know of a source?
AnswerDan,
I don't think you will find NOS for a Montague. It was sold and old components were used up. I have found ferrules for Granger and others but not H-I , either.
What I have done in your situation is ask for a vintage piece from my rod friends, they might have an old one in decent shape , no cracks and same style. I have some, email extremely detailed specifications to
[email protected]
Actually Janns Netcraft ferrules are very close, same metal almost same style.
Luck,
Mac
