Orvis Battenkill Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #7

1687


A nice Orvis Battenkill bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #7 line. Good used condition with moderate grip soiling and some cosmetic casting cracks in the ferrule wraps, but nice overall with just a little normal wear that you'd expect from light use. Serial #86092 built in 1983. Listed weight of 4 3/8 ounces. The rod is straight and the ferrule fits are nice and tight. Medium action. Impregnated bamboo done in the three up node pattern. Wrapped in a medium honey color with chrome guides and tip tops. The rod has a keeper and carbide stripping guide. Oxidized ferrules. 6 1/2" grip shaped to a snub nose blunt cigar profile, and the grip has moderate soiling that appears to have been cleaned in places. Downlocking aluminum screwlock reel seat. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and the original tube with the Orvis data a sticker affixed to it.

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.
