Description

LONG CAST from 1961 to 1977. 8’7” #6/7 type Batault, two pieces

In very good condition as I doubt it has been used more than a few times 100% original, smooth cork handle, nice tight suction ferrel joints, completely straight with NO sets or ticks, snake rings throughout with dark red silk whippings, complete with a non original rod bag and rod stopper. Please note, this is a French made P&M, not a Sharpe’s or Farlow’s rod built on a P&M blank.

In 1949, a new series was created, even more sophisticated than Parabolic: RITZ SUPERPARABOLIC PPP, where PPP means Puissance Pendulaire Progressive (i.e. Pendular Progressive Power. These initials clearly focus the target of all developments) This series, that shortly become well recognised worldwide, constitutes the top of the whole production of the “magical” trio Plantet – Ritz – Creusevaut. PPP series distinguishes itself from Parabolic ones for the research of the best balance between length and strength; the characteristic balance found in coupling two different length pieces, moving the female joint ferrule nearer to handle, supplies more quickness without losing precision and efficiency in short-range casts.

When used by the best skilled fly casters, such rods (built with highest quality raw material, with luxury finish and details) can perform long distance casts, although working smoothly and precisely within a few meters too. All rods are manufactured in two different length pieces….
