Got this directly from John, it was an experimental rod he made up which ended up being his rendition of a Driggs, 2 pc 1 tip in original bag, the tube is a vintage old tube that John put it in and forgot about the rod until he found it in a corner a couple of years later, lawn cast only, a wonderful 4 wt. Would like to trade it for a brand new Nikon SB 900 Speedlight
