For sale here is a stunning rod from N.A. (Nick) Taransky of Australia. As described by the maker: "A powerful rod, for fishing larger rivers, or lakes. This rod has a swelled butt which gives it authority for making presentations at distances up to a 80 feet or more." Eight feet for a six weight line. Made in 2004. The rod is in excellent and lightly used condition. The rod features moderately flamed cane that accentuates the grain and nodes. Transparent wraps with black tipping impart an elegant aesthetic.
