A superb Walt Carpenter "Browntone" bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #88576. Weighs 3.9 ounces. Mint, untouched condition with the paper and gummed strips still on the grip. Built in 1988 in Chester, NY, this is a real "wow" rod and a pleasure for me to describe something this nice. Medium action. Flamed medium brown cane done in a three up node pattern with a superb varnish coat. Brown main wraps with black edges and edges of yellow and maroon at the keeper and male ferrules. High arch HSS snake guides. The grip is 5 1/2" long and shaped to a medium cigar profile. The reel seat is cork with a 1" long varnished burl walnut spacer and an oxidized ring and pocket cap. The pocket cap is stamped "WE Carpenter, Maker" in a cartouche. The rod comes packed in a tan cloth bag and a brushed aluminum tube with brass fittings and Walt's data sticker on the tube. This is an opportunity to acquire a rod by one of America's best rodmakers at the height of his craft. A beautiful rod.

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.
