Eden bamboo fly rod by Bernard Ramanauskus model 8315 Bidding has ended

This masterpiece is in MINT original condition. Check out the pictures. All of the EDEN cane rods built by Bernard Ramanauskus are node less construction. That means all of the weak bamboo nodes are removed by a process of scarfing out the nodes, thus replacing the weak nodes with 18% more solid bamboo power fibers. The results are nothing short of amazing! Since rods made without nodes are inherently faster and stronger than their conventional counterparts, Eden cane rods developed their own proprietary tapers to take advantage of the node less contruction techniques.

This particular rod is a dry fly taper. It has a swelled butt which gives it an enormous power reserve and can easily flick out a little midge w/a few feet of line out or punch size 4 stone fly while facing a strong head wind. This is a rod built for long casts and big flies. It is not a streamer rod. It is a medium fast actioned rod with a tendency towards the faster side. Bernard rates this cane rod for a 5DTor a 6DT, depending on your personal preference. If you are familiar with the Dickerson family of rods, this one feels eerily similar to an 8014 stretched out to 8'3".

All tips are intact and this rod has NO ISSUES whatsoever. No blind wraps. No short tips. No clicking ferrules. No splits or delams. The silk wraps are in perfect condition as are the guides. The rod is 100% original and in MINT condition. What more can I say? This is just a fantastic rod. Good luck. (more...)

ALLCOCKS DUCO VINTAGE REEL half bail, box & book, mint Closing : Jul-12-08 14:30:00 PDT CLICK HERE TO BID!

Allcocks Duco

Sold with its box and booklet

The top half of the box is undamaged but the lower half is a little scuffed around the bottom edges.

The reel itself is stunning, just some tiny marks from handling.

There are no marks to indicate that it has been on a rod

or that it has ever had line on the spool.

The screw heads are unmarked so I haven't looked inside but I can tell that it is perfect mechanically.

Perfectly usable of course and that is your choice.

Highly collectable, a very rare find in this condition.

8' PHILLIPSON PACEMAKER Bamboo Fly Rod - NICE!! Bidding has ended

This is a Phillipson Pacemaker cane fly rod for a 5-Weight Line. It's a hard-to-find 8-footer, and actually measures a bit less than that when put together. All the wraps and hardware are original and tight. I bought the rod recently for a specific fishing trip to try the taper and measure it up for duplication. Casts like a dream and, though I didn't try it, would probably work with a DT4 because it feels and looks lighter than others I've handled. All the piece are full length. It may have had a light varnish overcoat by the previous owner, but I'm not sure. The rod bag is original I am told, but the tube is a replacement. One tip has a slight set. The reel seat has a couple of dings. The grip is soiled from honest use. Conservative reserve. (more...)

*SUPERB* 1939-48 HEDDON #551 "Stalwart" 5-1/2' Split Bidding has ended

It's my pleasure to offer at auction an absolutely Superb 1939-1948 HEDDON NO.551 "STALWART" 5-1/2 FT., ONE-PIECE SPLIT BAMBOO CASTING ROD WITH DETACHABLE OFFSET HANDLE & ORIGINAL LABELED CASE AND TUBE. First offered by Heddon in late 1938, the #551 Stalwart sold right up until the Korean War Trade Embargo in 1952, which effectively put an end to all bamboo rod production for James Heddon's Sons. Because of the rodshaft markings, we know this to be a Neo Classic Era model that was built from 1939 to 1948. Heddon's Cleo Hanley has handwritten "Heddon" diagonally across three flats and "#551 - 5-1/2 - L" on one other. The "L" stands for Light action. Also on the rodshaft is the decal of the retailer, "Kerr's Of Beverly Hills", a prominent gun & tackle dealer until the 1970's. Reel seat is correctly stamped "Heddon Pal" and carries the four 1934 Patent numbers granted to Heddon for the handle design. I've included a photo of the original listing from page 33 of Heddon's 1939 catalog. Rod is equipped with "Browntone" Tonkin cane, beautifully swelled butt, Carboloy guides & tip top, maroon silk wraps tipped in orange, detachable offset handle and solid cork tournament grip & foregrip. Rod is in solid Extra Fine original condition, showing virtually no wear. It is among the the nicest of one-piece Heddon casting rods that I've ever handled. Bamboo is Perfect, with no splits, cracks or delamination whatsoever. Tip section is the correct length and shows only a very faint set. All guides, tip top, wraps, ferrules and buttcap are Excellent. The reel seat adjusts perfectly and draws the tip section in tightly & securely. Solid cork tournament grip and foregrip look virtually brand new. A beautiful example that has seen little action and would be almost impossible to upgrade. The original leatherette case w/tube is in about Fine+ condition, showing light overall wear and minor cracking, but no holes or tears whatsoever. Still carries the white Heddon Inspection label, which is correctly marked for the rod. A Superb, original package from Heddon and one that seldom comes up for sale. To be sold in true auction format, with a very modest starting bid and NO RESERVE. Buyer to pay $13.00 for bullet-proof, professional shipping via U.S. Priority Mail. Insurance is optional. Payment must be received within 10 days of auction closure. I accept PayPal, Money Orders and Cashier's Checks. Thanks for your time and good luck (more...)
