Thanks mate, just run a google search and found that they are definitely not those Maver ones, they never made a Genesis 2 and their rods are completely different. Cheers anyway.

framey Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 (edited) Only problem is the longest those irod genesis go to is 7’7” or something silly and the handles are all wrong I looked at those yesterday it can’t be them.

ChrisDredd Posted July 27 Author Report Share Posted July 27 Somebody on an FB page mentioned that they could be Terry Eustace Gold Label, I ran a Google search and the only reference I could find was an old add, still listed on Google but now gone from gum tree for a Terry Eustace Gold Label Genesis 3 carp rod, no pics on Google though. These must be as rare as the proverbial stuff that come out the rear of a Rocking horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay cokey, if they are Terry Eustace Genesis rods, you are looking at circa 2003, which is probably why I couldn't recall Terry Eustace. The quality of his rod builds was second to none. I think he used Conoflex blanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plot thickens.......so I've been told they are definitely a Bruce Ashley rod and are built on Harrison Ballista blanks! Looks like I got there in the end. Thanks for all your help guys.

Have you heard him? Bruce Ashby used mostly Harrison blanks but also built Conoflex and Century rods. Genesis does not come up on Bruce Ashby, but does on Terry Eustace with posts about Genesis rods on a few other forums like maggotdrowners and fishingmagic as well as the Gumtree advert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framey Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 (edited) I thought they were Bruce Ashby but I couldn’t find any references by him to genesis model so put it down to an old age memory fart alot of Bruce Ashby rods were sold through the tackle box you could ask them Edited July 28 by framey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
