Jim Hidy Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 3/3 #5/6
$ 2,850

A nice Jim Hidy bamboo fly rod, 8’6”, 3-piece, 3-tip, and built for a #5 or #6 line. Hollow-built construction. Serial #W25963H-3. The rod weighs 4.9 ounces on my scale. The current owner tells me that the additional third tip was made for use with a slightly heavier #7 line. Used condition, with some grip soiling, and a scratch and micro-chip low down on one tip. No ferrule wrap cracks yet. The cane is blond and done with a three-up node pattern. Nice varnish. The main wraps are a light honey matching the blank color with black edges at the keeper and ferrules. Wrapped brown at the ferrules, and each tip has a different color at the tip top. The truncated swiss ferrules are oxidized. The butt has an agate stripper and black nickel snake guides. The grip is 6 1/4" long and done in a modified full Wells profile. The cap and ring seat features a nicely turned and knurled nickel silver hardware that has been oxidized. The spacer is a handsome piece varnished, mortised, quartersawn Walnut. The rod packs into a dark olive cloth bag has pockets for all three tips and the mid and butt. The aluminum tube has Hidy's shop-made brass hardware.

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.
