A nice Per Brandin Model 85-4-2 hollow built prototype fly rod, 8’5”, 2-piece, 2-tip, built for a #4 line. Weighs 3.0 ounces. Built in 2019. Designated a “Tournament Grade” which is inked halfway up the butt section, and further down “Brandin”, “854-2 DF”, and “HB Prototype 2019” in successive flats in the usual place. The tips are also inked with the the rod data just above each male ferrule. Medium fast full-flexing action. Two-opposed node pattern construction and the cane is a light wheatstraw color with a matte finish. Wrapped in cinnamon with black tipping at the ferrules. Three signature style wraps in a 2-3-2 succession partway up the butt section. Near mint condition with just the faintest bit of handsoiling to the grip and few other signs of meaningful use. Bright truncated Swiss-style ferrules. The fit is a tad snug on them, and one tip has a slight set and twist, which should be easily straightened. The rod includes a ferrule plug for the female and an agate stripper. Powell-style grip with an all-cork reel seat over which is an aluminum slide band and pocket cap. The rod comes packed in a tan poplin bag and an aluminum tube with brass fittings with Per’s data sticker affixed to it, and also includes a tan overbag with a foldover tie top.

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.
