I dont know what you are looking for but I have a pack rod that I won at a Rocky mountain Elk Foundation Banquet. I think it is 5 pcs with a canvas covered hard case and it would appear to be about a 4 or 5 wgt.
Let me know if you would like more detail.

Trapper, I'm looking for a light/ultra light rig that is compact and handy for trout.

I'd like to have something that is fairly maneuverable in heavy brush for beaver ponds and creek fishing ..... but long enough to get some casting range for lake fishing.

Daiwa makes some rods that come pretty close to what I'm looking for.



With a light spinning/spincast reel. Leaning toward spinning reel.

PS - A compact hard case would be a plus!

OK, here it 'tis - I Hope this works!







Sorry the photos are not better - I still haven't been able to use my digital in a true micro mode. That's a 12" ruler I put down beside the pieces to show scale. The info on the rod is as follows, line by line:
Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
Custom Made
#PK - 652T
Length: 6'6"; Action: Medium Light
Line Size: 4-8 LB Lure Wt: 1/16 - 3/8 OZ
Graphite Composite

The entire rod is in a green tube, hard shell with green canvas like covering. The rod breaks into four pieces and goes into the case which is about 2" in diameter. And as I mentioned, I won this thing as a door prize. I don't think it has ever seen more use than being taken out of the case, put together and then returned to the case.
The handle has a plug that pulls out and allows you to switch from fly rod to spinning rod. If you have any further questions please email me and we'll go from there.
Regards,
