Just found this while cleaning out my rod closet. It is an 8'6" Para/Metric that says made in Taiwan. The blank is black on this rod, can't remember ever seeing one before (actually can't remember buying this one).

Just wondering if anyone else has ever seen a Para/Metric with a black blank?

Thanks,
Barry

Thanks Keith. Wonder if they made other sizes in this color.

Amazes me about para/metrics. I've probably had two or three dozen over last twenty plus years and stuff keeps popping up I've never seen before.

I haven't had it out to cast for about 2 years, but I have a 7' parametric that I'm almost certain is that shade. I think it was Korean made, but it could have been Taiwan. Rollcast nicely with a 6 wt and can shoot some line for a 7 ft rod.

Good rod. Those paras are good even if ROC made. Not so much the Berkleys made outside the US in general - maybe a few exceptions like the Cherrywood.
