Gillum 6 1/2
by Gillum
This 6 1/2' gillum had near perfect (within .001") flat to flat consistancy when I miked it at Lang's.The other rods (including the 6' Gillum) I miked didn't. I already deducted .004" for varnish .Nice rod! 0-35 tip 40 begins 0 for butt. 39.5 is 165 on tip. 31.5 is the beginning of the grip on the butt.
