Parker "Banty" #9429 4'4" 5-weight

The Parker 4'4" 5-weight "Banty" bamboo fly rod is a compact, high-performance small stream rod designed for tight cover and short, precise casts. Handcrafted from select Tonkin cane, this banty-style rod delivers a surprisingly bold 5-weight punch in a 4'4" frame—ideal for brushy creeks, headwaters, and technical pocket water. Its quick, responsive action allows for accurate close-range presentations and effortless roll casts where backcasts are limited. Finished with classic thread wraps, a nickel silver reel seat, and a finely turned cork grip, the Parker Banty brings traditional bamboo craftsmanship to the most intimate fishing environments. This two-piece rod is complete with two tips and its original case.
