BAMBOO FLY ROD -- 8'0"-- 3/2 -- 5 WT. Closing : Apr-27-08 19:12:29 PDT CLICK HERE TO BID!

Here is an exquisite medium trout rod which recaptures the feel of a bygone era in a highly desireable size. This rod was rescued and modernized from an earlier high end rod in minty condition except for dired out silks and a slightly damaged ferrule. The rod was completly stripped and a new grip and reel seat added, with new guides, tip-tops and a folding fly-keeper. The guide spacing is "Granger style", with snake guides at the ferrules on the mid and tips. Nine snakes + carbide ring type stripper on the fully assembeled rod. The butt ferrule set is an original and pinned to the blanks; the mid to tip ferrule set is new and as close as I could get to matching the butt ferrule. The ferrules are nickle silver. Test casting suggest a DT5 line which loads up nicely with 30' of line. Rod action is subjective, but I would describe this one as medium fast. All sections are full length and near straight (though never perfect in any older used rod). Comes with a new rod bag and will ship in a heavy guage PVC tube.
