I am selling a few Divines from my own collection. A few are reserved for friends already. This is one of the finest (all original Divines) I have ever seen. Nothing has been changed. No re-wraps; all guides and ferrules and reel-seat are original. Label on butt section is 99%. No breaks, sets, repairs. Not even one loose wrapping. Varnish shows it's age. It is a Standard Trout model 5 wt. Comes with original form and bag. Excellent original condition.
