Rod by John Niemann. 8 ‘ # 5 to 6 line 2 tips bag & tube. Rod looks like new Maybe fished once or twice The owner has to many rods Its a problem choosing which one to take fishing Were helping him find new homes for some It was a hard choice to let this one go. I have lawn cast it and lile it with both 5&6 Wt. lines. Its much like my mod. 856 But has a little more tip action or dry fly action Johns workmanship is perfect If you could not enjoy this rod forget bamboo
