A RL Winston bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 2-piece, 1-tip, and built for a #6 or #7 line. Serial #9821. Weighs 4.6 ounces on my scale. San Francisco model. Medium fast action. I could find little sign that this rod has been fished. Medium tan temper cane color done in a three up node pattern. Tan wraps and maroon edges at the ferrules, keeper, and tip top. Excellent varnish. 6" long grip with a peel of the original paper still stuck to it, and the grip is shaped to a full wells profile. Downlocking aluminum screwlock reel seat. This rod has four stripping guides and the rest are chrome snakes. The rod is factory straight. The grey cloth bag has provision for only one tip, so the rod was made that way originally. The rod tube is about as clean as could be with the San Francisco label in 99% original condition.
