Fly Rod: Daiwa Amorphous Whisker Phantom AWF805 #4-5, 8 feet, 2-piece I think it's been over 30 years since I bought it. It's a very light rod with a thin blank, yet it has a good stiffness. The length is also easy to use in streams and slightly wider areas, making it a good rod. The grip is a bit darkened, but there are no scratches on the blank. The aluminum case was purchased later.
