  •                         Driggs River Rod#5-6 approx 7ft
Hand made by me and it is a beautifully designed rod.  Paul Youngs  parabolic taper #5-6 bamboo rod  is one of the best taper actioned rod in the world and has stood the test of time. PARABOLIC... Because of the nature of paras they are good nymphing rods (up stream like dry nymphing). At the same time though this rod also makes a great dry fly rod. (Quote from the Rod Building Forum) It is not a good roll caster but it is a GREAT roll caster, brilliant for tight spaces and will cast really close in too and is a powerful small rod. It stands in a class with Garrison, Payne, Cattanach and Leonard tapers. If you have fished with the PY para 15 Perfectionist then you will like this one too. It is ideal for a beginner as well as a seasoned veteran as it is a very versatile rod. For the Techies go and look at the stress curve and action for this in "online hexrod". Look at the Checker board grip, made up of 40+ individual cut triangular sections, carefully glued together and sanded to a Half Welles grip design. Took me 7 hours to do this handle. so its worth £40 of anyone penny's. The grip is a larger diameter than most fly rods, as in my experience most 5-7 weight grips are too thin and cause wrist fatigue.., (and I started fishing around 1970) so you will find this very pleasing to use. Its a variation of a tiger flamed design and quite unique. No high end varnish to spook that trout you have been after as it has 15 coats of Tung oil to protect it. Finest American Nickel Silver ferrules to boot. Cost £50 A special feature is the Acrylic Winding Check. I now have stopped making boo rods due to arthritis in my wrist so I am just finishing a few rods to sell. Just 4 left now. This rod would cost you a packet upwards of £400 if you wanted the same specification. So I am looking just to re-coup some capital so no extras with this rod.  No bag etc., you can buy a quality bag for £10 I will sign you initials on the rod as well as the rod spec.  FREE but you must allow a further 5 days to cover the ink. So I am out of pocket giving this away at this silly price.. but I have so many rods I have got to let it go . No auction just a BIN so its £110 +£22 insured delivery(as its worth a lot more than this price) and comes packed in a thick plastic tube. You may try before buying if you are local to me. Any questions please email me.
