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.

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.
