454


A Mark Canfield (Red Willow and Co.) "Secret Creek Special Tournament" Fly Rod, 6'8", 2-piece, 2-tip, built for a #4 line. Serial #483. Mint condition and a very fast action. Blonde cane with yellow main wraps and edges of red and yellow jasper. Black snake guides. Tips are 3 up node spaced and the butt appears to be semi-random. The wrap flat is lettered "M Canfield 'Secret Creek  Sp Tournament' ".  Just in front of the keeper wrap is lettered "Tournament, no 3 of 12, prototypes". Varnish is very nicely done. The ferrules are Swiss-style and oxidized (however, the female oxidation is a little patchy here and there). The grip is 6" long in a very blunt cigar weighted to the front. The reel seat is cap and ring and the wood is a select piece of varnished, mortised Koa. The butt cap has a horseshoe stamped on the bottom and "Red Willow and Co, Mark Canfield, Maker" is stamped opposite the wrap flat (here too the oxidation on the butt cap is somewhat patchy). The rod is packed in a tan cloth bag and brass cap aluminum tube. The cap is stamped with the horseshoe and "Secret Creek-Sp. Tournament".

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.

Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop).
