Lancaster Bow River Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #5/6
$ 1,250
1650
An RW Lancaster "Bow River" model bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tips, for a #5 or #6 line. Serial "4456UNTJB". I could find no sign that this rod has been anything but lawn cast. This is Mr. Lancaster's rendition of the Para 15 taper and is a powerful full flexing action that I suspect I would prefer with a #6. Medium chestnut colored cane that is mottled in places, and the nodes have a random-ish distribution throughout the rod. The rod has a very light finish, perhaps oil or a very very light varnish. Simple wire keeper. Light honey wraps. Oxidized ferrules. The grip is all cork and ventilated in the Paul Young style with a sculpted thumb pad. The reel seat is all cork as well with twin knurled rings, and the bottom of the rod has a slight flared bulb to keep the rings on and reveals a cross section of the cane in the bottom end. The rod packs into a red tartan cloth bag and a dark crackle paint aluminum tube with brass fittings.

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.
