Pezon et Michel Ritz Super Parabolic Fario Club Fly Rod 8'6" 2/2 #5

3252


A nice Pezon & Michel "Ritz Super Parabolic Fario Club" model bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for what feels like a #7 to me. The rod appears to be inked with the serial number "602". It weighs 5.5 ounces on my scale. Full flexing action. Staggered ferrule design with the tips 6 1/2" longer than the butt. A ferruled and varnished section plugs into the butt to extend the length to protect the tips. Very light use, with just a touch of minor hand soiling to the grip. Tip #1 has the start of a cosmetic ferrule wrap crack and the varnish is a touch rough at the snake guide. Tip #2 does not appear to have been used. Ferrule fits are fine and the rod is straight. The varnish appears to be in perfect original condition. Blonde cane with three up node pattern. The main wraps are green with red edges. The ferrules are oxidized, with red line-up markers. The grip is a generous 6 1/4" long and flares forward from about 5 3/4" back and a slight flare at the bottom to accommodate the hidden pocket cap. The reel seat is a burgundy red anodized up-lock screwlock. The bag is a red/maroon silk-like material with an embossed tag attached at the bottom and fits inside a plastic tube covered with a Pezon & Michel overbag.

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.
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.
