I got this rod in with a complete set up i bought,but i have no need for a fly rod. If you look them up,they seem to be 1st class rods with a hefty price tag. This one only comes in its cloth bag. It is in unmarked(looks unused)condition. The cork is as new. Not even a scratch on on the butt. It is im6 graphite and takes 9/10 line.such a lightweight rod,they say it can be used all day its so light. A half decent offer may tempt me to part with this immaculate rod.. might consider a pair of half decent rods. W.H.Y. Buyer can collect from essex,or im in coventry twice a month. Can do recorded well packed post at buyers expense.
