Bob Clay Penta Bamboo Fly Rod 11' 3/2 #5/6

1005


A nice Bob Clay (Riverwatch) "Dean's Skeena" model fly rod, 11', 3-piece, 2-tips, built for a #5/6 spey line. Mint, unfished. Pentagonal design, Bob's speciality. This is a carbon fiber ferrule model which allows for easy assembly and disassembly, and keeps the rod lightweight. The rod data is inked on the butt including the serial number "16429". Medium full flexing action which you can feel well down into the cork and which should work nicely with a light scandi or skagit setup. Medium wheatstraw cane done in a spiral node configuration. Matte finish to the blank. Wrapped in a light cinnamon color with darker red tipping at the keeper and stripping guide. The composite ferrules fit well and have a minimalist black matte finish. 12 1/2" top cork grip with composite cork fore and aft. Downlocking screwlock hardware over what appears to be a maple burl spacer. "Bob Clay, Maker" stamped into the slide ring along with an outline of a fish. The bottom grip is 4 1/2" with standard cork throughout but composite cork fore and aft (there is also a small aluminum cork check which is part of the hidden pocket cap). You can see the cross section of the blank in the very bottom of the rod. The rod packs into a grey/green bag and a brown frost coated tube with the Riverwatch logo and brass fittings.

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.
