PHY Princess
by Young
Hi All This rod was built in 1958. According to Martin Kean's book records show only 22 of this model were made. Unusual taper in that the first 10 inches of the butt section are flat and then becomes very steep. Rod is marked HDH (6) line but I feel casts best with a DT-5. Rod has a typical PHY medium to medium fast action . Rod has duel alum. slide bands Super Z ferrules stripper is a snake guide. Guide Spacing- Tip 4 1/2
