Prototype and Ex demo rods for sale.
We are designing and making new blanks and prototypes all the time. We are trying different combinations of carbon, for different actions, and experimenting with a variety of colours of paint, whippings, hand tipping and fittings. When we have finished working with the prototype, sometimes we offer it for sale. It will make a lovely addition to someone's fishing stable of rods, and that is far better than sitting in a corner of our office. The prototype rods are unique. There will not be another rod in the world identical to them.
When an item is classified as an ex demo, it still functions as intended and is perfectly usable. However the full history of an ex demo, by its very nature, is not fully known by us and therefore ex demo items are not returnable and cannot be refunded. They are all fully guaranteed against manufacturing faults. All ex demo items and prototype items are inspected and hand tested before leaving Bruce & Walker.
Please note: These rods are not guaranteed against car boot accidents, mice attacks, puppy damage, cows adding a little fibre to their diet, or a serious tugging when caught up on a rock at the bottom of the river.
