Sorry, but I seem to be photo challenged.
I can't say how it casts since the sections have never joined. Forgot to mention - has metal ferrule plugs, ferrules do not appear pinned.
The 'Western Special' was built in 1984 and is of a modern configuration. 8 1/2' 3 pc 6 wt. Straw colored cane with invisible wraps tipped in brown, swelled butt, metal ferrule plugs, stripper is reddish inlay butt guide, uplock aluminum seat w/ maple spacer. Comes w/ aluminum tube and cloth sack to cover tube. Rod is unjoined with shrink-wrap on grip.
Both rods have extra tip (normal).
