A Paul Young bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 3-piece, 1-tip and built for a #5 line. Used condition. The grip has been cleaned and there is some wear to the inner guides, but the varnish is in remarkable condition with no casting cracks to the ferrules. Medium-fast action. The cane color is light blonde with two-opposed nodes. The main wraps are bronze-gold. The stripper is carbide and the snake guides are H.S.S. black. The step ferrules are oxidized black. The grip is 6" long and turned to a half-wells profile. The reel seat is a down-lock black anodized screw-lock with the nut polished black. Cork spacer and the bottom has a polished nickel silver pocket cap with the die stamp "Paul H. Young, Detroit, Mich." in a square cartouche. The rod bag and tube are original. Please note that the rod bag only has provision for 1 tip and this rod may have been sold that way.
