John Bradford Legacy Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #5 [SALE PENDING]

1001


A nice John Bradford Legacy model fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tips, built for a #5 line. Serial #1682. 4.2 ounces. Used but very good condition, full length and no hook digs or other defects. The action is on the quicker side of medium. Very nice varnish with a moderate oven temper to the cane. Excellent care was taken with the blank preparation as the two up nodes are very small and there are no seam traces around the nodes. Agate stripper and black snake guides. The wraps are brown tipped yellow and color preserved. Small casting cracks at the ferrules. The step ferrules are oxidized and the fit is snug. The grip is 6" long in a blunt cigar cigar profile. The cap and ring seat is a mortised, stained, and varnished bird's eye maple. The ring retains 100% original oxidation but the butt cap has some rub spots reducing that oxidation to about 70%. "JA Bradford Co, Makers" in a cartouche on the butt cap. Cloth bag with ferrule plugs attached and a black anodized tube with brass hardware.

Shipping Information

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.
