3 piece, each section split cane., approx 41" giving total length of 10" 3" long.

Rings are low bells as opposed to the snake type eyes. Butt eye is AWOL but the original tip ring is metal lined.

Whipped in normal Sealey red with full intermediates throughout the length of the rod. Normal ESS transfer and and "Rainbow" in red lettering.

What about the floatcaster deluxe 11ft version with split cane butt and middle and tip in glass? That includes cane but is also glass. Should it be in the list or not??
