An Orvis Battenkill bamboo fly rod, 9', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #9 line. Serial #45436. The rod weighs 6.2 ounces. Excellent original condition. The rod has seen little use, just the start of some cosmetic cracking at the male ferrule wraps. Dark oven-tempered cane done in a 3-up node pattern. Brown main wraps. The stripper is a carbide and the snakes are chrome plated. The polished ferrules are tight and tight and the rod is straight. The cork grip is 7 1/2" long and shaped to a slim cigar profile. The seat is all aluminum and clear anodized with a down-lock screwlock with a pocket cap. The rod comes in a grey cloth bag and aluminum tube with the Orvis data sticker about 90% intact.
