This is a prototype rod and has only been used at Bruce & Walker. Finished in polished carbon with black whippings. It has 2 hardlon butt rings, hard chrome snake rings and a hard chrome tip ring. The handle length is 27 inches overall with a Fuji reel fitting. The cork handle is barely touched. The rod action is more tip action than middle to tip, and has a slightly faster tip action than our normal Spey rods of this length. A good rod for wading, but without the usual heavy duty equipment.
