Orvis Rocky Mountain Bamboo Fly Rod 6'6" 3/2 #4/5
$ 1,200
2187
A rare early Orvis Rocky Mountain bamboo fly rod, 6'6", 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4 or #5 line. The shaft is inked with "Orvis - Impregnated" and "Pat Pending" (the word "impregnated" is partially gone though legible). The serial number "5640" is inked between the ferrule and uppermost guide wraps on the butt, and just next to the male ferrules on the mid and tips. The rod dates to 1948. Excellent lightly used condition with a little ridging to the grip and seat spacer but very clean overall. Impregnated medium cane done in a three up node pattern construction. Wrapped red throughout. Oxidized ferrules. Carbide stripper. 5 1/4" grip shaped to a medium blunt cigar profile. The reel seat is all-cork under a downlocking aluminum screwlock with a pocket cap. "Orvis Impregnated - Patent Pending" is stamped into the back of the cap. The rod packs into the original bag and tube. A rare early pack rod that's hard to find and in very nice condition as well.

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.
