| Heddon Black Beauty (#17) 8 ½’ 3/2
2 1/2F (6 wt) All sections full length, and complete. Excellent overall condition.
This late era rod is an enigma. At first glance it appears to be a mint rod with the
original plastic still on the handle. However the bag is a replacement (still a Heddon
bag, but from a different model). All black wraps, beautiful varnish doesn’t have a
scratch. The grip appears to be original and virtually unused, the remnants of the
original plastic cover still attached. The original labeled tube is in excellent
condition, original bag tag included. I’ve lawn cast this rod a couple
times…it’s powerful and pleasant. Excellent E-mail me with

varnish, locking ring is slightly cracked, but hold a reel just fine. Original bag
and labeled tube. Very Good E-mail me with questions:

| E.C. Powell Hollowbuilt 3/3 9' (5 wt). All
full length professionally restored rod. Only lawn cast since restoration.
Probably a later E.C. built by Tony Maslan. B series, full flexing taper, almosts
casts itself. One of the 3 tips is an extra Powell tip I had laying around.
When I had the rod restored I had this tip wrapped to match, unfortunately it is not the
same taper as the others. Original bag and tube. Very Good Restored. The
picture shows some distortion. The rod is straight as an arrow.
