This was the best of the best Heddon had to offer in 1930 as well as the smallest and lightest 3 piece rod built. As noted in the 1930 catalog it states, "These rods are made in Extra-light Trout-weight for those anglers who wish a rod of unusual balance and action in the 4 oz. Trout-weight class." Built only for one year, 1930. By 1931 the catalog states that the reel seat would be Walnut slide band. (Material.. Split Bamboo)
