Mystery 9'6" 10 wt
by Mystery
It is a monster rod.................. I caught 3 mature north coast California steelhead on my "first trip out for them It is a 2 piece 9.5 foot 8.8oz. rod. Again I ask the list if anyone has information for a tournament caster named Will Betten the only name associated with the rod. Hope this can help you big fish affectionato's............. The finish was in bad shape when I acquired it so I stripped it rewrapped new guides new grip and new reel seat. The finish is 6 coats of Behlens Tung Oil so no varnish except only on the guide wraps. Many thanks for any help..............
