Paul Young (Bob Summers) Parabolic 15 Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #6 8'3" it also balances quite wellA nice Paul Young (Bob Summers) Para 15 model bamboo fly rod, 8', 2 piece, 2 tip and feels to me like it would cast a #6 best. Serial #4520. The rod weighs 4. 2 ounces on my scale. Both tips are labeled "dry tip" and the rod has a strong, full flexing DF action. This rod was built under the Paul Young name by Bob Summers for Thomas McGuane. It shows some signs of modest use with some grip soiling, some cosmetic casting cracks at the male ferrule
