Paul Young Bob Doerr Bamboo Rod 9' 2/2 #8

VFT3371


For sale here is a Paul H. Young "Bob Doerr" 9' bamboo rod, complete with original bag and tube. The rod is in excellent condition. Serial #2244 built by Paul Young in 1957. The ferrule fit is perfect. Suited best for an 8 weight line. Custom shaped grip with thumb indentation is in great shape and super comfortable with only slight ridging to the cork. The rod weighs 5 7/8 oz. The original aluminum screwlock reel seat barrell was cracked so I had Bob Summers replace it with the black reel seat hardware shown in the photos. This is the only work that prevents the rod from being in original condition. Comes with original bag and tube.

Don't miss out on this great opportunity to acquire another very hard-to-find model from the legendary Michigan rodmaker!

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.

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).
