Paul H. Young - Perfectionist 7'6" 2/2, 4-5wt Bamboo Rod (Pending)

For sale here is Paul H. Young Perfectionist 7'6" 2/2 4-5wt bamboo rod in mint condition. Serial #4647, made in the mid 1970's shortly before Bob Summer's departed the PHY rod co. Darkly flamed bamboo with dark guides and brown silk windings. Blued ferrules fit perfectly, and the varnish is perfect throughout. All sections are full length, straight & serialized, and all script is in Bob Summer's hand. Dual slide band reel seat over all-cork grip & seat (the cork is bright and smooth). Overall weight is 3.02oz. The action feels medium & semi-parabolic. A perfect Perfectionist from the Summer's-era. Sold in the original bad and tube.
