An Orvis Shooting Star bamboo fly rod, 9', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #8 line. Serial #59647. The rod weighs 6.4 ounces. Medium and powerful action. If the rod has been used I can’t tell at all. It appears mint to me. Darker tempered cane done with resorcinol glue and in a 3-up node pattern. Dark brown main wraps. Three carbide strippers on the butt with chrome snake guides on the tips. The step ferrules are polished. The 7" long medium cigar grip is evenly tanned along its full length suggesting natural oxidation rather than hand soiling. The all aluminum down lock seat is anodized clear and has a pull out rubber button with the accompanying fighting butt found in a pocket of the grey cloth bag. Both the bag and tube are fully original and mintish.
