VFT1180
For sale here is a E.C. Powell - 9' 2/2 B-Taper bamboo rod. The rod is in excellent original condition. All sections are full length and straight. This is an E.C. built rod, not a later Tony Maslan rod. The rod features hollow-built cane. Coppery golden wraps with full intermediates, beige and black tipping at the hook-keeper. Bright guides. The patent number script on the butt remains as clean and bold as the day is was written. Brass, u-shaped hook-keeper. The grip is moderately soiled, and also is beginning to display very light ridging. Bright aluminum, up-locking reel seat with a handsome bakelite spacer. E.C. Powell logo is stamped into the butt cap. The bright nickel silver ferrules are size 17/64 and feature indented witness marks. The fit is excellent. The rod weighs 4.95 oz. The action is medium-fast and this rod is a casting machine.....a DT6 just zips through the guides! The tips are thin and delicate enough to softly present a dry fly to a distant riser. It's easy to see why so many rod makers study the tapers of Powell. Don't miss out on this fantastic rod from one of the most influential makers in bamboo fly rod history. Includes original bag and replacement tube.
Please note: Paypal is not accepted for international sales. Please use a credit card or choose "Direct Bank Transfer" if you purchase the rod online.
