EC Powell Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 2/2 #5
$ 1,450
1000
An EC Powell fly rod, 8'6", 2-piece, 2-tips, built for a #5 line. 4.1 ounces. Patent date inked on the butt just above the grip. Medium full flexing action, and a likely B taper. Excellent refinished condition. The ferrule fits are good. The butt is nice and straight and one tip has a very light set while the other is a more substantial right-handed sweep and could use some straightening. Light wheatstraw colored cane done in a two opposed node pattern construction. Brownish tan wraps throughout, including intermediates, with yellow and black tipping at the keeper only. The agate stripping guide is intact on the rod, however the agate ring is loose and should be re-soldered to the guide. The butt female wrap has a cosmetic casting crack (common in many rods, and cosmetic only, due to the repeated flexing of the rod). Chrome guides. Typical Powell-style reel seat with a particularly narrow profile just before the uppermost flare. Some modest hand soiling from use. Bakelite reel seat with an aluminum uplocking screw lock with the Powell stamp. Packs into a dark olive bag and the original aluminum tube with brass fittings, and a slight remnant of the original Powell sticker on it.

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.
