Mario Wojnicki – 245 F5
This is an 8' 1", 2/2, 5wt., weighing 3.40 oz. This rod has been lawn cast only. In my hand, the action is medium-fast and semi-parabolic with feeling into the grip. The 3.40-ounce weight is deceiving but also telling. This rod can cast with utmost delicacy but also has the strength to handle larger flies and the power to control larger fish.

Lyon & Coulson - #400 7' 6" 4wt., Heddon Trade Rod
In all original condition. In my hand, the action is on the fast side of medium-fast with a very decisive dry fly demeanor from the ferrule and above. A great point and shoot taper that is delightful.
