Redwing/Joe Balestrieri, 9ft. 2/1, Parabolic Switch, #5/6 line, #7 Sinking As Well. Total Weight 5.4 oz. Hollow Butt.

One of my personal rods; long and light with deep parabolic power and a stiffer tip for holding a long line in the air with ease. Flamed cane with a special tone (old violin finish) dark glue lines, blued ferrules maple seat with cap and ring. Finer grip and extension butt for two-handed casting a la switch. Antique gold silk wraps, black/red at ferrules and cork check and all chrome guides. Of course, my own taper with notes of Young and Pezon. I would say best used in water with area and distance; perhaps wind, cane be problematic and where a long drift is important.

Lightly used w/ bag.

Cost: $650.00
