This rod is a superb compromise between a casting rod and a fishing rod. It is a genuine 130 yds+ caster, which gives full confidence when the fish is being played out under the tip. Easy to use with 3 oz casting weights. The cosmetic finish is very high specification. The rod has been painted matt black; with black whippings, tipped in metalic silver. There is decorative silver tipping around the abbreviated handle too. Has a Fuji fitting and fully lined single leg rings. The rod has never been used and is one of a kind. The end result is an amazing rod, with matching finish.
