Winston Hollow Built
by Winston
Rod was originally built for Norm Thompson in 1965. Steven Weiss duplicated this rod for Mr. Thompson but didn't hollow build it. Steven says it only weighs 1/4 ounce more than the original and is somewhat faster than the original (because of not hollow building). Original rod had a revers half wells grip that flows into the cork reel seat.

This rod has a "Tip-heavy" stress profile. Stress varies significantly across the rod. Some sections work much harder than others, creating a pronounced action character. Peak stress is well below the failure threshold, giving this rod a generous safety margin.
