An RL Winston bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 2-piece, 1-tip, and built for what feels to me like a #6 line. San Francisco era model. Serial #9928. The rod weighs 4.6 ounces on my scale. Medium fast action. Light use. The tip has a very slight set to the left. Wheatstraw color cane done in a three up node pattern. The wraps are a light tan color with maroon edges at the keeper, ferrules, and tip-tops. Originally built and sold as a one-tip rod as there is no accommodation for a second tip in the gray cloth bag. Carbide stripper and chrome snake guides. The grip is 6" long and shaped to a full wells profile. The seat is an aluminum downlocking screwlock and a pocket cap. The aluminum tube has 80% of the original Winston sticker.
