			<description><![CDATA[ Rich Margiotta did a great job of re-wrapping (or whipping for the international set) the rod and polishing everything up. The royal blue wraps with gold
tipping just &quot;jump&quot; off the rod... quite the eye candy.  Took the rod out for a trail run with the new wraps and the trout seemed to like it as well
as about 20 of them hopped on the fly to get a ride up to get a closer look at the rod.  They all wagged their tails which must mean they approved.

			<description><![CDATA[ The rod has an interesting history.  It was designed by Dermot Wilson of England and Peter Alport (Norm Thompson owner) in the late 60s/early 70s.  They made
up a few and had friends all over the world try them out and make suggestions as to taper modifications (thus the &quot;International&quot; designation).  Some
of these suggestions were incorporated and the rod then put into manufacture by Sharpes/Farlow.  The rod is very highly thought of in England and are still
quite expensive there.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Ralph:
<br>
<br>
Once upon a time I also owned one of the aforementioned rods. The wraps were indeed a very unusual aqua blue tipped gold.
<br>
It had a conical &quot;Ritz&quot; grip and down lock sliding band over cork reel seat. Very staggered ferrule design with a l-o-n-g hexagonal cane ferrule plug
to make the butt equal in length to the tip when stored. Lastly, I remember the rod as having a very powerful tip.
<br>
<br>
I traded it to Phil Snyder about 1991.
<br>
<br>
Regards,
<br>... ]]></description>
