This is a rod from J.K. Fisher, a prestigious blank manufacturer in the USA. This historic maker also supplied blanks to companies like Winston, and the rod has a very similar feel. It has an action perfect for dry fly fishing. There are minor scratches on the blank below the ferrule, visible depending on the light, and small scratches on the reel seat, but otherwise, it's in a very clean and glossy condition. There is no loss of resilience, and it has a smooth casting feel. The ferrule connection is still tight with plenty of life left. This is a beautifully crafted, handmade rod. It does not come with a bag or case, but it will be shipped in a void tube.
