Jim Schaaf Hollowbuilt Steelhead/Salmon Bamboo Rod 9'3" 3/2 #8/9 Gary Howells The reel weighs 6 7/8For sale here is a fine 8 9 weight bamboo rod built by Jim Schaaf, a one time owner of Lyle Dickerson's rod making equipment and co author of the Dickerson book. This salmon steelhead rod is hollow built and weighs roughly 6 1 2 oz. The rod is obviously inspired by some of the San Francisco Winstons or E. C. Powell rods from the golden age of steelheading. It has a fairly small grip with a fixed fighting butt stamped with the "Schaff Rod Shop" logo.
