Bill Blackburn Bamboo Fly Rod 8’3" 2/2 #5
$ 1,550
2295
A Bill Blackburn hollow built bamboo fly rod, 8'3", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #2312. The rod weighs 4.1 ounces on my scale. Medium-fast full flexing action. Near mint condition, and perhaps lawn cast only. There is just a hint of soiling to the grip but I could find no other meaningful signs of use. The rod is nice and straight and the ferrules fit well. Light cane done in a two opposed node pattern. Light apricot wraps with red tipping at the grip, signature, and ferrules. Carbide stripper with bronze guide and chrome tip tops. Truncated swiss-style ferrules. The grip is 6" long and shaped to a blunt cigar profile. The seat is an oxidized cap and ring over a nice varnished burl spacer. The rod packs into a cloth bag and a black frost coated rod tube with brass fittings.

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.

Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
