A very nice Robert Bolt bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #0405. Listed at 3 7/8 ounces and that's what it weighs on my scale as well. Full flexing medium action. The rod appears to be lightly fished or perhaps even lawn cast only, with just a tiny bit of soiling to the grip, but no other meaningful signs of use that I could see. The rod is nice and straight with the cane done in a two opposed node pattern. Excellent varnish. Wrapped in brown throughout with yellow tipping. The ferrules have the characteristic Howells-style overwrap and come with a brass knurled ferrule plug. The grip is 6" long and shaped to a western profile. The seat is an uplocking aluminum screwlock with a hidden pocket cap under the grip. The screwlock bears Bolt's maker stamp and the spacer is what appears to be a varnished piece of Zebrawood. The rod packs into an orange cloth rod bag and an aluminum tube with Robert's data label affixed and gold anodized aluminum fittings.

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.
