For sale here is a Paul H. Young Para 15 Model bamboo rod -- 8' for a 6 weight line. The rod is in excellent plus restored condition. Serial # 2239. Originally made by Paul Young in 1957 and restored by Bob Summers in 1972 (including the new script in Bob's handwriting). All sections are full length and straight. Beautiful mottle-flamed cane that Young is so well known for. Color-preserved dark copper colored silk accent the cane nicely. Oxidized guides, ferrules and tip tops. Written on the rod in Bob Summers handwriting:

"Richard V. Rounds" 3/21/57 Refinished 5/30/72.
A Paul H. Young Co. Rod.

The cigar grip is in very nice condition. Black aluminum down-locking reel seat with cork spacer shows very little wear. Super-Z branded ferrules are size 15/64 and the fit is perfect. The actual weight of the rod is the same as marked on the cane, 4.30 oz. with both tips weighing the same. Strong medium to medium fast parabolic action for WF6 or DT6 lines. Included is the original bag and replacement Champion tube.
