I recently unearthed my 7' Berkeley Parametric in the 5-pc travel format, including the plastic "Buccaneer" case (even includes the paper liner with fly line). Seven foot rods aren't exactly my cup of tea (I bought it many years ago in to keep in the car, but I never did), so I'm thinking of unloading it.

Is this a fairly common, "ho-hum" rod, or should I start making plans for retirement? 8-)

Seriously, just want to get an idea of value before I list it on eBay .

Thanks for the info.

This is a fly-only model. Your mention that this shouldn't be a Buccaneer pack got me looking -- the plastic (faux woodgrain) case only says "Berkeley Travel Pack" on the outside. The rod is definitely a Parametric (P5f-7 model #, and has the Parametric inscription and metal badge on the grip) but the paper card on the inside of the case does say Buccaneer on it, an the model number on that is "B57-F" which leads me to believe the rod and case -- though both in great shape -- are not original to each other. Bummer.

Still, the rod's in excellent shape, but I don't collect and a 7' rod isn't on my "keep" list. I'll have pics later today. I was mostly interested in posting a decent reserve for it on eBay -- I'll be selling it alongside an excellent-condition Fenwick FF756.

A trade would be considered, though I'm liking the longer Diamondglass rods which are probably not very available.

Thanks!
