I just picked up this rare 6 foot Wanigas Deluxe rod that until now I've never seen before, and I've seen a lot of Wanigas rods. It's definitely an early one built up from a Narmco blank probably sometime in the fifties. First off, this is the first cap and ring over an all cork seat that I've ever seen on any Wanigas glass rod. It also has stamped Super Z truncated brass ferrules. I cast it with a 4 and a 5 weight lines, and it threw both, but I preferred it with a 4. The label on the rod tube says that it weighs 2 ounces.

Swweeeett stik !

I'll have this rod at Michi-Glass for all to see and cast. I trust that you'll have that travel rod with you Grouse.
