For sale here is a Paul H. Young Parabolic 17 bamboo rod, complete with original bag and tube. The rod is in excellent condition. The rod is full length and straight. Serial #4245 built by Bob Summers. This rod appeared in Marty Keane's 1990 catalog and was priced at $1800. The ferrule fit is perfect.

There was a small hook dig by one of the nodes on the butt section and Bob Summers recently filled this in with a small amount of epoxy and re-varnished that entire section.
