And Orvis Battenkill Adirondack model bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #90444, I believe this was built in the mid or late 2000's. Near mint condition with some faint cosmetic casting cracks to the ferrule wrap and a few small scratches to the female ferrule being just about the only sign of use that I could find. The grip is pristine. Impregnated cane in a light wheatstraw color, and done in a three up node pattern. One of the tips has a very faint twist but the rod is nice and straight otherwise. Medium fast action. Wrapped a dark cherry red with black tipping. Bright 13/64 ferrules. Triangular keeper, chrome guides and a carbide stripper. 6 1/2" grip done in a western style profile with the flared heel. The front and rear cork check have coin edge knurls. Aluminum upsliding band hardware over a two-part spacer that boasts a stablized burl wood over cork. The rod packs into a gray cloth bag and a black frost coated aluminum tube with brass fittings and the Orvis data sticker affixed to it.
