Handle
The .257 measurement at 75 in is correct and was double
checked several times. This rod has been rewrapped and finished.
There wass still two original wraps on this rod. One at the butt
and the other at the butt section ferrule. This wrap goes all the
way up the ferrule. Who says you need to Blue the ferrules - just
wrap in thread. The original thread appears to be Black and White
jaspar.
