Model 7011 Quadrate: 7 foot 2/2 for double taper 4 line.
This rod illustrates tea colored cane which is typical of my normal production. The actual color of the rod shaft is not quite as dark as this picture leads you to believe. This color displays the grain of the bamboo quite nicely and makes the nodes take on a wonderful, contrasting honey-like tone. It is reminiscent of the Heddon and Granger built rods from the classic period.
