An Orvis Battenkill bamboo fly rod, 7', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #6 line. Serial #60272. The rod weighs 3.5 ounces on my scale. Good used condition with some grip soiling, cosmetic casting cracks at the ferrule wraps, but no major defects that I could find. Dark temper cane with resorcinol glue Chrome snake guides with brown wraps and a carbide stripper. Oxidized step ferrules. The well soiled grip is a medium cigar profile that measures 6" in length. The reel seat is a downlocking aluminum screw lock and pocket cap with an unvarnished walnut spacer. The rod packs into a gray cloth bag and the aluminum tube is in excellent condition with the data sticker 99% intact.
