Divine Standard Trout Special
by Divine
Posted to Rodmakers by Chris McDowell. Dramatic swelled butt.Here's a taper taken without varnish from a three piece Divine 7' fly rod. Not sure of the history of this rod. The ferrules are turn of the century and the reelseat is from the 1920's. I think it is a Standard Trout special ordered in the shorter 7' length. Labels are gone. No I don't know the casting characteristics or line wt. recommendation.
