Vintage Winston Fly Fishing Rod San Francisco CA 7' 4" Closing : Jun-01-08 18:05:41 PDT CLICK HERE TO BID!

This is a vintage R.L. Winston graphite Fly Fishing Rod. The label on the rod reads THE WINSTON ROD R.L. WINSTON ROD CO. SAN FRANCISCO CALIF. I don't know when they moved there rod making to Montana, but apparently this rod was made before they moved. This is a dainty little 7 foot 4 inch #4, 1 5/8 oz. rod, the tube is also a Winston, but has the Twin Bridges Montana address, so I don't know for sure if it went with this rod, the sock is just marked R.L. Winston Rods. The condition is just amazing, looks like it was used just a few times, I would call it near mint, not counting the tube. The only 'wear' I see at all is a little dirt on the cork handle. It would be hard to find a nicer-vintage Winston rod. If I didn't have 4 fly rods I would keep this one. Check my other auctions for some other great fishing items from a few estate sales. I am listing a vintage sila flex fiberglass fly rod, a old pflueger medalist reel, and lots of other reels. High bidder to pay $13.00 for shipping, More outside the USA. I will give a break on shipping if you win more than one item.
