The rod features darker straw colored cane with cinnamon wraps. The script remains as clean and bold as the day it was written. Along with the rod information, the original owner's name is written. There is a fine scratch in the varnish over the script, this should be easily polished out. The modified cigar-style grip is 6 1/2" in length with only the lightest of handling marks. The grip features a thumb and a palm indentation. Aluminum down-locking reel seat over a handsome Walnut spacer. The original owner's initials are stamped into the bottom of the butt cap.
