RL Winston Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #5/6
$ 2,300

An excellent RL Winston Bamboo Fly Rod, 8, 2-piece, 2-tip, built for what feels to me like a #5 or a #6 line. "RL Winston" and "8' 4 oz #2003" lettered on the shaft. Weighs 4 ounces on my scale. Medium semi full flexing action. Excellent, lightly fished and well cared for condition. The ferrule fits are perfect, and one tip is straight while the other could use a very minor bit of straightening. Light, honey-colored cane done in a three up node pattern construction. Nice varnish throughout. The chromes plated guides are wrapped orange with dark maroon tipping at the keeper, ferrules, and tip tops. The durabronze ferrules have the characteristic Winston overwrap done in a handsome copper color. The grip is 13 corks and 6 1/2" long, done in full wells style, with some light hand soiling and minor ridging. The reel seat is an aluminum downlocking screwlock with a pocket cap over a nicely varnished wood spacer. The rod packs in a bright orange bag with the Winston logo and a dark copper colored aluminum tube with brass fittings and the Winston logo sticker 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.
