GH Halstead Bamboo Fly Rod 8’6” 3/1 #7
$ 1,450
2929
A GH Halstead bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 3-piece, 1-tip, and built for what feels to me like a #7 line. No serial number. The rod weighs 7 ounces on my scale. Fair condition. The varnish looks pretty good but the wraps could use some attention to secure them. Powerful medium to medium fast action. Light chestnut flamed cane done in a spiral node pattern. Brown main wraps with a band of olive and red at the keeper, red at the male ferrule. Perfection stripper with high arch HSS snakes. The step ferrules are oxidized and they appear to be a more simplified design that the ferrules Halstead made for Payne, with no trim marks or scallops at all. The ferrule fits are good. The grip is soiled with a few crunch marks from the guides and measures 7" in length and shaped to a medium cigar. The uplocking screwlock has an exposed pocket cap for the reel foot. The polished nut is stamped "GH Halstead, Rods" and the wood spacer looks as though it was obtained from Pinky Gillum. The rod packs into a non-original bag and 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.
