The Heddon Pal #8383 arrived yesterday and I couldn't be more impressed with the look, feel, and condition of this fly rod.
There are few things as beautiful in the fiberglass realm as brown weave glass and the Heddon Pal script inked across the blank. The double loop guides are a nice touch as well.
The card board rod tube, Heddon decals, and rubber cap are in great condition for being decades old.
The blank says it's a 7 1/2 foot five weight but those that have cast this rod like it better with a six weight which makes sense to me. Either way it's going to get fished!
