Heddon #50 President Deluxe Taper - (Fritz Wiese)fritzwiese

I did forget a few things on my first post.  Label on case is marked
Model #50, President, and wt #2.  Took me a while to find that was
Heddons designation for dry fly action.
Strange but the snakes on the mid section are English pattern and the
snakes on both tips are Amer. pattern.  If that was 1936 Heddon was
probably just switching over.

I took dimensions with my 1/2" Starret mic. w/pressure release.
All measurement differentals are plus dimensions, and they were always
on the spline where the guides are attached.

Client mentioned that this rod was his fathers and he was a local
tournament caster.  He used this rod for trout, dry fly accuracy and the
skish fly event were they had to use a production rod.
Workmanship is exceptional.
