A beautifully crafted split bamboo fly rod built on the classic Heddon #17 Black Beauty taper. Made by Anglers Roost Enterprises, this rod measures 9 feet and is designed for a 5/6-weight line in a 3/2 configuration — three pieces with two matching tips.
The Heddon #17 Black Beauty is a highly regarded vintage taper known for its smooth, progressive action and versatility on larger trout water and bass streams. At 9 feet, this rod offers the reach and line control that smaller bamboo rods simply cannot match, making it an exceptional choice for bigger rivers and lakes.

These Anglers Roost bamboo rods have been out of production for many years and are becoming increasingly difficult to locate, especially in excellent condition with both original tips and the original rod tube present. This rod is unused and in perfect condition — plastic is still on the cork.
No longer available new. Limited supply remaining from Anglers Roost's bamboo rod production era.
