Replacement vintage rod rings

Does anyone know of an outlet that can supply vintage rod rings? Looking for a butt ring for a pre-Garcia ABU Atlantic 484...

Which type does the rod have ,abuflex or fixed bright wire ??????

There are no linings to them so I'd assume that they are what you've described as fixed bright wire...

One other thing is the ring diameter ,they did a fixed spool version and multiplier version ....i have a half a dozen 484`s in the tackle shed might be able to help you out with a ring .Will take a pic of what i have tommoz and post it for you to look at a nd make sure they are right ..

Keep having a look on e-bay (in the VINTAGE TACKLE area) they're always updating this bit & sure there'll something. There are over 3,000 items in this section & i've seen @ least 2 "LOTS" of various vintage rings for auction - or buy now.

Hi Mike..... I might well do that.... I'd quite like another with the long cork handle but in better nick than mine is currently! Any chance of some pics and, if you message me with the sort of money you'd be after, then I'm sure we could do a deal. I've decided that, as good as modern tackle is, I'm going retro - a 484 Atlantic paired with a 1970's 9000C - perfect!
