Rod was used on two occasions this year and was great to fish. It is one of the lightest rods I have ever fished with, its only 2 1/2 oz....Great made rod and comes with Orvis Rod sleeve, and Orvis Rod Tube. And the Fantastic 25 Year Warranty. Rod was used twice and is Mint, I am only selling because my streams by my house are very small streams and really don't warrant a 10 ' rod.... GREAT Nymphing rod. $299.95 If Interested and you need any Info. Just let me know .I will ship with your dime..:nose-picking: Mike.
