Steve Gobin Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 3/2 #4

1146


A nice Steve Gobin (Quilceda Rod Works) bamboo fly rod, 7', 3-piece, 2-tips, built for a #3 or #4 line. The rod is inked as being 6'8" but is a full 7' in length. Mint, unused condition. Pleasing, medium fast action. Steve is a highly celebrated fly tyer and a protege of West Coast builder Darryl Whitehead and his rods only very rarely come to market. Built in a three up node pattern construction, the cane is a medium wheat straw color. Excellent varnish. Wrapped in light brown with black tipping. Agate stripping guide with snake brand guides the rest of the way. 6" long grip done in a contemporary, full wells profile. Oxidized step ferrules with a knurl on the female welt with slightly flared ferrule plugs made of cape buffalo. Oxidized uplocking sliding ring reel seat with a hidden pocket cap over a maple burl wood spacer that flares at the bottom to keep the ring on, with an oxidized button inset in the bottom. Packs in a yellow poplin bag and an aluminum tube with brass hardware and Steve's label affixed to the outside. A neat chance to own a rod from a builder who has been influential in the development of Northwest steelhead fishing.

Shipping Information
We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. 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.
Other Terms
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). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
