VFT1888
For sale here is a 8' 3/2 5wt hollowbuilt quadrate bamboo rod. The blanks were made by Tim Zietak and the rod was deftly finished by the late George Guba. The rod is in unused condition. All sections are full length and straight. Moderately tempered cane with burgundy wraps and gold tipping. Ruby colored agate stripping guide. Bronzed guides. Ring hook keeper. Handsome, vintage-styled bakelite winding check. Reverse half-wells grip 6" in length. Aluminum up-locking reel seat over a beautifully figured wood spacer. The ferrule fit is nice and tight as it should be. The rod weighs 4.40 oz. The action is on the faster side of medium-fast. Smooth and crisp with plenty of power while the tips are thin enough for finesse and tippet protection. An absolutely wonderful dry-fly rod. Complete with original bag and tube.
