The Paul H.Young Para 17 #2 embodies hybrid performance for demanding angling scenarios. Its signature parabolic taper merges a delicate tip section (starting at 0.09") with abrupt diameter reinforcement beyond 75" mark, creating unmatched lifting power against hard-charging salmon or stubborn redfish. Crafted from stress-tested Tokin bamboo using traditional hexagonal splitting technique, each blank undergoes 240-hour precision tempering. The 18% nickel silver ferrules ensure seamless energy transfer, while marine-grade varnish protects against saltwater corrosion. Whether throwing weighted streamers in tidal rips or battling steelhead in heavy current, this 9wt rod delivers crisp loop control and deep-loading reserve power.
