$ 7,750

An exquisite Sam Carlson Four bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for what feels to me like a #3 line. Serial #824-4758, the 4th rod built in 1982. The rod weighs 3 3/4 ounces on my scale. Signed "C.W. 'Sam' Carlson - Maker", and "Carlson Four" on the shaft. Mint pristine condition with paper on the grip and the rod specs and original owner's name inked on the paper. Fairly full flexing action. Flamed cane with lighter nodes overlayed with a spectacular coat of Cosmo spar varnish. Black stripper and black perfection snakes. Maroon windings with black edges at the keeper and male ferrules. Black signature wraps in the "3/2/1" pattern. The ferrules are oversized black and fit perfectly. The grip is 6 1/4" long, squared to the black tenite front cork check and shaped to a "Western" profile with a hidden pocket cap. The seat is a walnut spacer with an aluminum uplock screwlock in a highly polished state. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and a grey frost-coated tube. Sam's rods in this condition are almost impossible to find today and this could easily serve as the centerpiece for any collection.

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.
