RL Winston Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #6

625


An excellent R.L. Winston San-Franscisco era fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tips, built for what feels to me like a #6. Serial #8179. Lightly used condition. Faster action. Original owners name on the rod. The three up node pattern is somewhat approximate in the butt. Tan colored cane with tan wraps and maroon edges at the ferrules, keeper, and tip tops. The butt and the first guide on the bottom of the tip are bridge guides. Stainless snake guides and black tip tops. The grip is lightly soiled and there are minor cracks at the ferrule wraps. The grip is 6" long and in a full wells configuration. The down-lock screw-lock is of black bakelite (a piece of tape is on it with the owner's name, but could be easily removed) with a polished aluminum nut and pocket cap. The rod comes packed in a red cloth Winston logo bag. The aluminum tube still has 80% of the original Winston sticker.

Shipping Information

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.

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.
