I purchased an 8'6" 6wt a few years back at a show in Ft. Washington PA. I had never seen this brand before but figured it would make a good back up rod. 7 pieces in a tube under 18 inches long. The rod casts suprisingly well. The pieces all fit well and I haven't cast off a section yet. I payed a suprising low 120 bucks for the rod. last day and last hour of show. It is a Baden Powell "Special Edition"
