A nice Darryl Whitehead bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for #4 or #5 line. Serial #75. 4.3 ounces. Mint unfished condition. Medium fast action. The cane is a light chestnut oven temper color and features a spiral node pattern. Brown main wraps with small black edges. Banded agate stripper and black snake guides. Swiss super Z style ferrules that have been engraved by Paolo Barbetti (so is the screwlock pocket cap and the bottom plug). The female ferrule is fitted with an ornate ferrule plug. The grip is 5 1/2" shaped to a Western profile. As mentioned, the downlocking nickel silver screwlock is heavily engraved and the spacer is a spectacular piece of varnished and somewhat banded walnut. The rod bag is brown cloth with a leather pull tab and packs into a leather rod tube stamped "DL Whitehead, Rod Co" on the top and "#75" on the bottom.

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.

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.
