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.
