Winston, RL -- 5'6" 4wt "Grizzly Blank" Fiberglass Rod 7'9" The negatives are as follows:For sale here is a super scarce and very early Winston "Grizzly blank" fiberglass rod. 5 1 2 feet for a 4 weight line. Good condition overall with some marring to the glass above the grip. Fast action rod yet flexes into the butt section. Originally a bamboo spigot ferruled rod, Glenn Brackett replaced it with a fiberglass ferrule. Comes with original tube. A historic rod in a scarce length, not to be missed!
