I bought this reel and set it up for billfish in Guatemala and the other spool for tarpon.

This fly reel is designed to fit nicely on a 12, 14 or 15 weight outfit. The regular arbor design provides the backing capacity of at least 300 yards of 30# backing with the shooting line on the reel which is set up for Marlin or Sailfish casting to a teaser behind the boat. The other spare spool has floating line for tarpon. While not as light as today’s wimpy designs, the solid frame is built to take the punishment from any size fish.

This is the third and finest generation of the anti reverse Fin Nor reels, two steps past the wobbly wedding cakes and the step past the first direct drives which have no numbering or lettering on the face opposite the handle.

BAMBOO FLY ROD — 6′ 3″ — 2/2 — 2-3WT. — NEW

Friday, September 12th, 2008
or20080912c.jpg BAMBOO FLY ROD -- 6' 3" -- 2/2 -- 2-3WT. -- NEW

Bidding has ended.

This is a 6' 3" flamed cane / bamboo fly rod which I have carefully assembled and made from a New Old Stock blank. The rod has two differently-tapered tips. The lighter weight tip was made from the same culm as the butt section. I found through test casting the rod that a WF3 overloaded the rod slightly with the light weight tip, so I would suggest fishing it with a 2-weight. The heavier (nymphing) tip has an agate tip-top, and seems to work best with a 3-weight line. The heavier tip is slightly darker and may have been a later addition to the set of blanks. The gentleman from whom I purchased the blanks suggested the blanks were made by either Edwards or Payne, but I have no way to validate this claim. I placed an invisible wrap between the butt ferrule and the first guide to strengthen this delicate little rod in this area. There are no breaks or separations here, just a protective wrap which the buyer would not see had I not mentioned it here (the fourth and the last photo show this section of the rod). The rod is wrapped in translucent orange silk and finished with multiple coats of spar urethane varnish. This is a nice little medium action rod which should be fished with a 2-3 weight line and 6-7x tippett. The rod will come with a new quality rod bag. Expedited shipping is $12 in the U.S., $15 to Canada. Expedited shipping overseas usually runs about $35. Insurance is optional and may not be available to all overseas destinations. I ship though the US Post Office. (more...)

Hardy Palakona The Fairy Bamboo Fly Rod 8 1/2 Ft. Nice!

Thursday, September 11th, 2008
or20080911a.jpg Hardy Palakona The Fairy Bamboo Fly Rod 8 1/2 Ft. Nice!

Bidding has ended

Here is an 8 1/2 foot 3/2 Hardy bamboo fly rod, marked "Palakona Regd. Trade Mark" and "The Fairy" on the shaft above the grip. Also stamped with "Made by Hardy's England" on the uplocking butt cap, with a serial number of E78148, which dates the rod circa 1951. All four sections are original full length, with both tips being 1 inch shorter than the butt and mid as made. The original varnish is showing it's age with some checking, mainly on the butt section. Some of the intermediate wraps are fraying. Retains all of it's original bridge guides and a white agate stripping guide and tip-tops, with no cracks (one of the tip tops shows a bit of dirt in the closeup photo).

The rod is nearly straight with one of the tips set slightly to the left. Ferrules are tight to the cane and fit snugly, disjointing with a nice pop. This rod has a brisk medium fast dry fly action, weighing 5.3 ounces on my digital scale but feeling lighter in the hand. Comes with the original bag with a few rips in the top, and an elegant Clear Creek satin aluminum tube with brass caps.

According to A.J. Campbell in Classic and Antique Fly Fishing Tackle: "The Halford Special was popular in the United States, as were the revamped Deluxe and the Fairy. The latter rod became famous after Ernest Hemingway fished an 8 1/2 foot, 5 ounce model in Wyoming. Hemingway's Fairy is now in the American Museum of Fly Fishing." A very fine, all original fly rod to collect or use!

Extremely RARE* 1927-29 HEDDON #42 6′ 2″ Split Bamboo

Sunday, September 7th, 2008
or20080907b.jpg Extremely RARE* 1927-29 HEDDON #42 6' 2" Split Bamboo

Bidding has ended

It's my pleasure to offer at auction an Exceedingly Rare and Historically Important 1927-1929 HEDDON NO.42 6 FT., 2 IN. ONE-PIECE SPLIT BAMBOO "LIGHT TACKLE" SALT WATER ROD WITH DETACHABLE HANDLE. These earliest of Heddon salt water models are simply never seen, as very few were initially produced and fewer yet have survived. The first of it's kind I've ever seen. This rod is historically significant, as it represents James Heddon's Sons' first entry into the lucrative salt water rod market. One of three First Series models, the other two being the heavier No.40 and No.44, the No.42 was first offered in 1927 and would sell continuously, in one form or another, up until WWII. Because this example has the rattan-wound grip and foregrip, we know it was buillt from 1927 to 1929. After 1929, the No.42 came equipped with solid walnut grip, with either a foregrip on the butt section or none at all. Made from Heddon's highest-quality Tempered Tonkin cane and equipped with full agate guides & tip top, black & red silk windings, closely wound with no less than 46 intermediates the length of the rod, "Hold-Tite" screw-locking reel seat and rattan-wrapped grip & foregrip(which is on the tip section). Detachable handle measures 14", while the tip section is the standard 5 ft. Rodshaft carries the "Heddon" bass decal, while the reel seat is stamped with the correct "HEDDON'S MADE IN U.S.A. PATENTED". I've added a photo of the original listing from Heddon's 1927 catalog. This beauty is in Very Fine+ to Extra Fine condition, the finest you're likely to see. Shows only extremely light wear and evidence of use. Luckily, it appears it was never used in salt water, as there is absolutely no corrosion to the hardware, which looks as pristine as the day it was built. Bamboo is Perfect, with no splits, cracks or delamination whatsoever. Tip section does show a moderate set. Appears to have been revarnished and partially rewrapped. Guide, intermediate and signature wraps are all solid & complete. Bass decal is about 90% complete. All guides, tip top, ferrule, wound-over winding check and buttcap are Excellent. Reel seat adjusts perfectly, showing virtually no wear. The original rattan on both the grip and foregrip are in absolutely Pristine condition. An extremely rare and beautiful example of these elusive models and one that would enhance even the most advanced Heddon bamboo collection. To be offered in true auction format, with a very modest starting bid and NO RESERVE. Buyer to pay $14.00 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. Thank you for your time and good luck. (more...)

Bidding has ended

This auction was on last week - unfortunately someone in Germany thought it would be to their advantage to end my auction early and try and reap the benefits. That has since been fixed with E-Bay and the offender is being tracked.

So again: Here is your chance to pick up this extremely hard to find rod that is a MUST HAVE for any collector. This rod is in MINT condition - not even a flake of varnish is missing. The rod reads: Garrison NE 209 E O -79 -2 and on the tip it reads 0 -79 -2. The female ferrule has a stamp - Super Z. All 7 eyelets on the tip are nice and tight as well as the tip itself. The Butt section has 3 eyelets, all tight and the hook keeper is tight as well. The ferrules are tight with no cracks. The cork handle is in E+ condition. The rod looks to never have been used and was stored in what appears to be a safe environment. I do not possess the additional tip, tube or bag - the auction is for the original rod only. Shipping will be $14.95. Please e-mail me with any questions that you have through the E-Bay account only. All others will not be answered. Thanks and GOOD LUCK! (more...)
