An R.L. Winston bamboo fly rod, 8’, 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 or #6 line. Serial #9938. San Francisco era rod, made Sep 15, 1971. 4.1 ounces on my scale. The original owner's name is inked on the rod. Medium-fast full flexing action. Good overall condition with hand soiling to the grip, ferrule wraps cracks, and minor scuffing to the varnish. Dark tan oven temper cane done in a three-up node pattern. Light tan main wraps (some may have been redone as there is a slight color difference). Maroon edges at the keeper and ferrules. The ferrules are tight fit and the rod is straight. Carbide stripper and chrome snake guides. The grip is 6 1/4” long and shaped to a full wells profile. The reel seat is a black anodized aluminum down lock with an aluminum pocket cap. Birdseye maple insert. The rod packs into a green cloth bag and aluminum tube which has the “San Francisco” label on it about 75% intact.

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.

Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
