Mike Spittler Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #4/5
$ 2,900
2302
A rare Mike Spittler bamboo fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4 or #5 line. Serial #179. Medium action. Lightly used condition with some grip soiling and cosmetic casting cracks at the ferrule wraps. The ferrule fits are good and the rod is nice and straight. The original owner's name is inked on the rod. It weighs 4.2 ounces on my scale. Flamed cane done in a three up node pattern configuration. Maroon main wraps with black edges. Chrome snake guides and tip tops. Swiss style ferrules which are oxidized (the oxidation is slightly blotchy on the butt female). The grip is 6" long and shaped to a front-weighted full wells profile. The seat is an uplocking slide band with a hidden pocket cap, and would likely work best with a thin footed reel. The spacer is cork with an oxidized ring and a 3/4" mahogany and delrin spacer at the end. The rod packs into a heavy grey cloth bag and an aluminum 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.
