20" and the pillar length is 0

Wheatstraw tempered cane done in a three up node pattern

The reels are constructed of lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum

Mario Wojnicki 257F6 Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 2/2 #6 3 Weight 20" and the pillar lengthA Mario Wojnicki 257F6 bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #6 line. Serial #8168. The rod weighs 4. 5 ounces on my scale. Mario's name and the rod model and serial numbers are inked on the shaft. Fast full flexing action. The rod is straight and the ferrules seat well. Excellent lightly used condition with some soiling to the grip and two small scratches to the varnish in one area on the butt, though the rod is very clean overall.
