Mint, unfished Steffen 8'6" 8/9 built by modern day Fiberglass Guru, Mike McFarland, using a Struble U22 integrated fighting butt saltwater safe reel seat. I bought a correct size reel-on tube for the rod. Price is $360 plus shipping with tube, $335 without.

I have two of these and from my test casting with a 7WF, 8WF and 9WF I found that the rod prefers an 8wt line. I plan on using one beach Striper fishing this season.
