Default FA: Bamboo rod

eBay item # 7151861281

It's a 9' foot two-piece one-tip for 6 or 8 wt. line, how the hell am I
supposed to know, - casts either pretty well. Pretty beefy - it's not a
good brookie rod, but you can haul salmon out of the water and swing them
over your head with it. It's a Sharpes of Aberdeen Scottie, made in one of
those God-forsaken third world countries - Scotland, I think. It was
varnished some time back, which I'm told shouldn't have been done to an
impregnated rod. The sections are really straight, the varnish is fine, the
wraps and guides are perfect, the ferrules are snug, the cork is nice and
clean and smooth. Not a bad rod.
