Young, Paul, 8’0”, Para 15 “Deluxe” bamboo fly rod.This is Young’s famous taper that, in my hand, is perfect with a WFF 6 line.The bamboo is flame treated with one tip made for dry flies (red silk tipping),and the other wets. It comes with the correct aluminum Young down-locking reelseat, and a butt cap that is stamped with Young’s indicia. This 4.20 oz. rod isthe K.T. Keller model. He was a friend of Paul Young’s, and the past presidentof the Chrysler Corp. Both of the tips are full-length, with very good ferrulefits. Bob Summers “reworked” this rod in 1987 (there is a tag on the aluminumcase with this information) and I suspect that it has not been used much since.The bag is probably not original, but the case is – yet it is missing its screwcap. A very nice, honest, Para 15.
