Jenkins Rod Co. GA70L Bamboo Rod 7' 2/2 #3/4

For sale here is an early Charlie Jenkins bamboo rod - Model GA70L. 7 feet, 2/2 format for a 3 or 4 weight. Cigar cork grip. Nickel silver cap and ring over with the butt cap stamped "The Jenkins Rod". Payne-like brown thread wraps with gold edges. Blued nickel silver ferrules. Includes original cloth bag and labeled aluminum tube. The hookkeeper needs to be re-wrapped. Other than that, the wraps show a bit of age, but all of the guides and chrome tip tops are secure. This rod belongs to Ken Iwamasa and if you've ever fished with Ken, you probably know how many fish he catches. As a result, both tips have fishing sets that can be corrected under heat (by an experienced professional!). The grip is in fine shape still, just a bit soiled. A clean grip just wouldn't look consistent with the rest of the rod, so I left it the way it was. Cane is in great shape, there are no invisible wraps or delaminations. Varnish is still in fine shape. Rod weighs 3 1/4 oz and the ferrules are 14/64.

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.
