Paul H Young Parabolic 17 and Texas General , both purchased at the last Langs Discovery
Auction and came from the Ernest Schwiebert estate, they were in need of restoration.  They
do not have serial #s and were probably kit rods sold to him. They come with a copy of the
auction brochure stating that they were his rods and a copy of the receipt showing they were
purchased by me. Both are casting machines easily throwing a entire line.
Ernest used these rods and now they are ready to start catching fish again.  Own a piece of
history.
