This was the 17th rod that I have built. I have now built over 150 and this one still holds up. I did not sell it previously because I was holding it for a sell that never came through, no I am not that patient ,I forgot about it and left it in safe storage. It is one of several duplicates on this design. I have had friends and family field testing these rods for 8 years. I feel I have put in my time to come up with a decent split rod. This rod was hand planned by me. I used a dip tube to apply a new coat of polyurethane spar Marine varnish. The wraps are very professional with three coats of lacquer. Action is medium. This rod would ideal for dry as as it is very light .
You can now own that split bamboo cane rod that you have dreamed of , without paying thousands. It is beautiful to look at, but I built this rod for fishing. It casts like a dream . This is a great rod at 45 inches per section. Please note all sections are straight and even. I have seen similar rods go for $1700 but I offer this one for $650. Buyer pays 15 shipping in Continental USA , actual costs outside the states. I offer a money back, 3 day inspection, guarantee.
