Found this one on the site. First Parametric I’ve owned, what a fun little rod. The brochure on the development and function of the parametric is pretty neat, I’ll have to scan it and post it.

I have quite a few parametrics and I love them all. All mine are two or three piece. I don't have a five piece yet! We need a report on how it is. Newman

Cool rod. Does it really weigh 6 oz?

Very cool. I’ve seen the buccaneer rods in a travel pack like that, the Star Trek photon torpedo case, but never a parametric. I’m also curious about the weight. And some of that literature included looks like it explains how the parametrics actually bend space and time. I think.

Neato! A cork reel seat to boot. Love the PM series.
I've got a 7ft 5pc Buccaneer that has probably caught more fish than any other rod I own, from tiny trout to 20lb carp. I always wondered how the 5pc PM compared to it.
My Buc, tho rated 5wt like your PM, is a better 6wt.

Definitely not 6oz, I really enjoyed it with a 4, the 5 had a definite hitch or hinge when casting. Very enjoyable rod!
