For sale here is a rather scarce Pezon et Michel - Parabolic Concours "Distance 100" bamboo rod. 7'7" 6wt 2/1. Made in France. The rod is in excellent original condition. Both sections are full length and straight. Characteristic, P&M staggered ferrule construction. The ferrule plug is missing.

The rod features warm honey-toned cane with black wraps and bronzed guides. The stripping guide is made of a large bronzed hoop 5/8" in diameter. The script on the butt remains clean and bold, free of defects. Petite, cigar-style grip 4" in length with a thumb indentation. Dual, bright aluminum sliding band reel seat with a cork spacer. There is only enough space for a very slim reel foot to fit. The grip is moderately soiled but free of ridging, hook gouges or other defects. The rod weighs 3.50 oz. The ferrules are Swiss style, likely of Pezon's own design and construction. They are size 15/64, the fit is excellent. The action is fast but the rod still retains feel. The "Distance Series" was designed for tournament/competition casting. An average caster can easily lay out 70' of DT6. This is a wonderful rod that takes us back to the Charles Ritz era of competition fly casting, don't miss out. Includes original bag and paper tag on bag. No tube.
