This very interesting rod probably dates from the 1890s since it has drop rings instead of the later snake guides. It has 5 pieces and an extra tip, which is 2” short. The cool handle is perfect and gives you a very good grip. The bamboo and varnish are good but the ferrule fit is loose on some of them, so this is probably more of a collector rod than a user. Comes with a later aluminum tube.
