After seeing Steve’s pictures I am about ashamed to show you this tiger eye rod. My cousin asked me to send him a picture of it. I may have shown this before on FAOL but if so here it is again.
The rod is an 8 ft 5/6 weight with a fighting butt. I bought the blank & hardware on EBay as a kit. For some reason nobody was inclined to bid on it and I got it for 20 bucks to include shipping. I asked the seller if it was a 2d or what and he said he was the son of the owner (Sevier) and the rod was A-1. It even came with the spine marked. Iit casts either a 5 or 6 weight line real nice.
