Found a FF855 at a flea market in very good condition. When I researched it on this site It appears that this is not a common rod. Most of the posts on this rod are 5 to 10 years old.Are they more common now with the growth of ebay?

Someone may know more than I, but I agree that the ff855 seems to be a rather scarce model. Hope you enjoy it.

I see very few posts about the 855, seems to be very scarce. What is the labeled rod weight?

The Ff855 is the three digit variant of the FF 84. It is a bit faster than the ff84, at least some of the ff84s but not as fast as the ff805.
