Norcro Fishing Tackle "The Crofter" Raphona Cane 9' #7 Fly Rod

The Norcro Fishing Tackle "The Crofter" Raphona Cane 9' #7 Fly Rod is a relatively uncommon vintage British split-cane fly rod dating from the mid-20th century. A 9-foot #7 cane rod was designed as an all-round heavier freshwater rod suitable for: Large trout on reservoirs and lochs Sea trout Light salmon fishing Casting larger wet flies, streamers, or small lures Compared with modern graphite rods, it will feel slower and heavier but offers a smooth, deep-loading casting action appreciated by traditional fly anglers.
