Good afternoon. I have for sale a 5' 1-piece fiberglass rod Ed built for me on a Grizzly blank. The rod says 5' 2", but clearly measures 5'. It also is labelled for a 3/4 weight line - I prefer a 4 wt. The slide bands were manufactured by Beljan Manufacturing Corporation in Wellsville, PA. The rod case is PVC, also made by Ed. I'm asking $425 for pickup in South Central PA. Shipping may be an option, but quite expensive given the rod is one piece. Signed copy of "Fly Rod Trouting" - $25. Thanks for your consideration.

BTW, I'll be travelling with my family this weekend, so please forgive me if I don't respond quickly.

Just curious, is there any markings to what grizzly blank was used?
I'm assuming it's a grizzly/Fenwick yellow FL blank. Which is odd because he would of had to trim it down to 5' likely.

What a treasure of a rod, I'd purchase it myself if I had the cash.
 
Had one, but donated it to a TU auction. What was I thinking?
 
All Ed told me is that it was next to the last of his Grizzly blanks. Sorry I can’t be of more help than that. I haven’t fished it for a few years and figured I’d sell it to someone who would.
 
Price drop on rod - $400.
