A few questions: 1) this rod is the only Heddon Ive seen with a metal slide band. The only reel I have that fits is a Ross Cimaron. Just aquired a 15941/2 Medalist but reel foot is too big. What reel did they use on this 2) What do you use too burnish the inside of female ferrule? 3) Just curious if anyone knows what weight this rod is? Kinda hard to try my differnt lines since I only have one that fits. Thanks
