For sale here is a Pezon et Michel Super Parabolic PPP, Super Marvel (Type Hans) bamboo rod. 7'2 2/2 for a 5 weight line. 3 7/8 oz. Mint unused condition. Numbered 416. Made in France.

Note, this is a French made P&M, not a Sharpe's or Farlow's rod built on a P&M blank.
In 1949, a new series was created, even more sophisticated than Parabolic: RITZ SUPERPARABOLIC PPP, where PPP means Puissance Pendulaire Progressive (i.e. Pendular Progressive Power. These initials clearly focus the target of all developments…). This series, that shortly become well recognized worldwide, constitutes the top of the whole production of the "magical" trio Plantet – Ritz – Creusevaut. PPP series distinguishes itself from Parabolic ones for the research of the best balance between length and strength; the characteristic balance found in coupling two different length pieces, moving the female joint ferrule nearer to handle, supplies more quickness without losing precision and efficiency in short-range casts.
When used by the best skilled fly casters, such rods (built with highest quality raw material, with luxury finish and details) can perform long distance casts, although working smoothly and precisely within a few meters too. All rods are manufactured in two different length pieces....
