An Orvis Deluxe bamboo fly rod, 6'6", 2-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #6 line. Serial #43505, built in 1966. Used but well cared for condition. Medium action. 2/3 ounces. The owner's name is on the rod but all other writing has worn off. Impregnated, heat treated cane in a 3-up node pattern. Brown wraps with dark HSS snake guides. All sections are full length. The grip is a tiny 4" long super fine profile that tapers to the bamboo at the front. The reel seat is all cork, flatted for the reel foot, and with two small aluminum rings. The step ferrules are oxidized. A rarely seen Orvis model. The rod packs into the original grey poplin bag. The tube has the Orvis data sticker intact and a large "Think Trout" sticker from Orvis.
