Paul Young Texas General Fly Rod 8'6" 2/2 #7/8
$ 2,750
2926
A nice Paul Young "Texas General" bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #7 line. Fast action. 5.3 oz. The original owners name and the date of April 1953 are both inked on the rod. The rod appears to be mint. I see no sign of brassing to the inner guides. Very powerful rod for a 7 weight and should cast a country mile. The cane is flamed with dark patches. Nodes are two-opposed. The main wraps are a bronze gold color. Guides are high arch. Oxidized Super Z ferrules. The rod is straight as a pin. The grip is 6 1/2" and styled to a half-wells profile. The rod is fitted with a black anodized aluminum down-locking screw lock. The spacer is cork and the bottom has a nickel silver pocket cap, oxidized black and stamped "Paul H. Young Co. Detroit, Mich.". The rod bag and tube appear to be original. You won't find a nicer example of this model than this!

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.
