R.K. Bolt Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #5
$ 2,450
3105
A very nice Robert Bolt bamboo fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #1510. The rod weighs 3.9 ounces on my scale. Action is slightly faster than medium, and this is one of my favorite Bolt tapers. The rod is mint and appears uncast. Medium chestnut oven tempered cane done in a two-opposed node pattern. Superb varnish work, no flaws. The main wrap color is a medium brown with yellow edges. Robert makes his own ferrules, plugs, and screw lock seats. The ferrules are overwrapped like Winston and Howells rods. Carbide stripper and chrome snake guides. Brass and cork ferrule plugs. The grip is 6" long and shaped to a sculpted western profile with a hidden pocket cap. The spacer is a handsome piece of varnished zebrawood. The aluminum uplocking screw lock is stamped "R.K. Bolt, Maker", and "R.K. Bolt" is stamped on the ferrule welts as well. The rod packs into a red cloth bag and a frost coated 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.
