Orvis Salmon 10' Bamboo Rod

VFT3080


For sale here is an Orvis Salmon 10' 9wt 3/2 bamboo rod with detachable extension/fighting butt. Serial #9450 made in 1950 by Cal Skinner. The rod is in excellent original condition with the exception of the mid section being down 1 3/8". The rod was repaired by Orvis most likely at the female ferrule. Orvis did an outstanding job as without the rod being down a bit one could never tell. Thread color matches perfectly. The rod features classic browntone cane with chestnut silks. Cigar grip with light soiling. Down-locking nickel silver reel seat. The cork check between the grip and reel seat is slightly loose. The fighting butt/extension is 5 1/2' in length. The cork has some soiling but is in excellent condition. The rubber butt cap is also in fine shape, not at all dry or cracked. Ferrule sizes 13/64 and 20/64. Rod weighs 8.55 oz. without extension and 11.10 oz. with. Original brown bag with extra section for the extension. Replacement tube with brass collar and aluminum cap.

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.
