Chris Raine Bamboo Fly Rod 8'3" 2/2 #4

1646


A nice Chris Raine bamboo fly rod, 8'3", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4 line. Serial #401. Hollow built construction and the rod weighs 4.3 ounces on my scale (the listed weight is stated as 3 3/4 ounces). Lightly used. Medium action. Light oven tempered cane done in a two opposed pattern. Light brown main wraps with black edges. Agate stripper with dark snake guides. Very good varnish. The ferrules are highly truncated swiss-style with some oxidation loss to the female. The grip is 6 1/4" long and styled to a full wells with a hidden pocket cap. The reel seat is a mortised uplocking slide band over a stabilized redwood burl. The grip has some light hand soiling. The rod packs into a light brown colored bag and an aluminum tube with brass fittings and the Raine data sticker affixed to it.
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.
