676


Here we have a Jerry Drake two-handed rod, 10'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, built for a #8 line. Serial number 38, and marked "G243H". 8.1 ounces. Marked 8-1-2008. Full flexing action. Lightly used as the grip is about 95% clean. A varnish chip from a glancing hook blow just below the top stripping guide is the only real sign of use. The cane is a wheat straw color and the nodes seem to be clustered close together (within 2") in a somewhat random pattern. Light tan wraps with black edges. Ceramic stripping guide on the butt with chrome snake guides for the remainder. Very light coat of varnish. A number of the node areas have some filled seams showing and the butt has a 4 1/2" long seam that has been filled in and colored to match the cane. The swiss-style ferrules are bright and the female has a deep trim mark. The tips have the same random node distribution and the nodes themselves are also about 1/4" larger than the butt section. The upper grip is a 9 3/4" half wells with a downlocking screwlock and a hidden pocket cap. Nicely varnished maple insert. The lower grip is 4 1/2" with a large black rubber button. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and an aluminum tube.

Shipping Information
We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
Other Terms
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
