Paul Young Princess Taper - marty

Hi All, This rod was built in 1958. According to Martin Kean's book ,
records show only 22 of this model were made. Unusual taper in that the
first 10 inches of the butt section are flat and then becomes very
steep. Rod is marked HDH (6) line but I feel casts best with a DT-5. Rod
has a typical PHY medium to medium fast action . Rod has duel alum.
slide bands, Super Z ferrules, stripper is a snake guide.
