    Description

    NICE FLY ROD THATS READY FOR FISHING. THESE H&I CASCADES ARE A VERY POPULAR ROD AS THERE A LIGHT MODEL AND OF ABOUT 45 FLY RODS THAT THIS COMPANY MADE THIS ONE IS A MID LEVEL UPPER ROD. ITS ABOUT 7 DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE LIST IN QUALITY AND EXPENSE.
    I HAD THE ORIGINAL SOCK BUT LOST IT OR USED IT WITH ANOTHER ROD AND THE TUBE I DID USE WITH ANOTHER CASCADE ROD. FURRULES ARE NOT LOOSE THERE TIGHT AND THEY DONT CLICK WHEN CASTING. HAS TWO REWRAPS AT THE BOTTOM OF ONE OF THE TIPS OTHERWISE THERE ALL ORIGINAL. NO CRACKS OR SPLITS IN THE BAMBOO OR FERRULES. GOES TOGETHER AND COMES APART AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
    IF YOUR NOT HAPPY WITH THE ROD YOU CAN SEND IT BACK. ITS NICE ROD.
    ALL I DID TO THIS WAS LIGHTLY VARNISH OVER THE LABEL  TO PROTECT IT(because at the factory they put the label and dexal on last so it can easily get scratched off) I ALSO VARNISHED A FEW OF THE SILK WRAPS TO PROTECT IT.
    THIS SURE IS A NICE ROD. LOOKS WAY BETTER THEN THE PICTURES. TO MUCH CAMERA GLARE.
