McKinley, Ron / Macklin Customs 7'6 2/2 4/5wt Bamboo Rod 11' The box measures 9 3/4"For sale here is a masterpiece presentation rod by Ron McKinley, who made rods under the name "Macklin Customs". This rod is 7 1 2 feet with two sections and two tips, based on a Leonard taper and style. Perfectly executed cosmetics in my opinion.
