Allcock’s Aerial 4 ½” Reel Two Handed Fly Rod and a band of green

and a band of green and red at the keeper and male ferrules

The rod has a crisp medium fast dry fly action

The script remains clean and bold as well as the varnish

It's very difficult to buy one of Mario's fine rods at this price
