I have a rod that is the duplicate of yours and I was casting it yesterday with a WF6 SA Sharkskin and I was quite surprised. I think this thing will out
perform their cane rods. I have it listed on my web site for $125.00 but I have had little interest. I think it is worth that but the market might say
different. $100.00 anyone.

Does it look like this? I had one and liked the casting action. One of my favorites from Heddon that I have experienced.

That looks like a Pal Thorobred #55. I have a 8'er and like it a lot. The early Heddon's don't get the love they deserve from the market yet. I
would like to see a picture of a Black Beauty. Any body got one?
