I just got a 7 ft 8 inch St Croix Pacemaker that is for 5 or 6 wt line as part of a package deal and it is the strangest thing. Notice that what would normally be the tip section of a 2 piece rod is actually 2 pieces with a ferrule that perfectly matches the one between the tip and but section ... so in essence it is a 3 piece rod, but not three equal pieces.
The butt section and the assembled "other" two pieces are exactly the same length.
I assume this is a repair, but I can't imagine why someone would have went through the time and effort to do this kind of a job.
It's a neat rod with the tobacco color blank with a nice fiber weave in it.
Hopefully someone has one of these to verify that yes ... in fact it should only be two pieces, or I guess to verify that it is a weird three piece.
Thanks in advance for any info on this rod ... for the record, I do plan on selling it, but would like to learn a bit about it first.
