John Pickard Model 795 Bamboo Fly Rod 7'9" 2/2 #5
$ 1,400

A nice John Pickard Model 795 bamboo rod, 7'9", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. I believe this is John's rendition of the classic Paul Young Para 14 taper. Authoritative, fast but full flexing action. The rod weighs 3.7 ounces on my scale. Excellent overall condition, the rod appears to have been little used, perhaps lawn cast only even. Flamed mottled cane done in a three up node pattern. The rod has a keeper, a carbide stripper, and bronzed guides. Wrapped medium-light brown throughout. The oxidized swiss-style ferrules fit perfectly. The grip has a half wells profile that transitions into an all cork reel seat with an oxidized cap and ring. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and aluminum tube with brass fittings.

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.
