An RL Winston bamboo fly rod, 8'9", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #7 or #8 line. The rod weighs 5.1 ounces on my scale (the listed blank weight on the rod is 4.5 ounces). San Francisco era rod with a serial number of #1202. Used condition with some soiling to the grip and a repair wrap 1 1/8" long below the bottom guide on one tip. The rod is straight and the varnish is good. The original owner's name is inked on the rod. Hollow fluted construction with oven tempered cane. The main wraps are tan with cinnamon edges at the keeper and ferrules. Three strippers on the butt and one at the bottom of the tips with chrome snakes otherwise. The grip is 6" long and styled to a full wells profile. The reel seat is artificial wood with threads cut into it for the downlocking aluminum screwlock. A ferrule is inset into the butt cap for the fighting butt which is itself stored in the bottom of the rod bag. The rod packs into a maroon bag with the Winston label sewn on and an aluminum tube with about 60% of the San Francisco Winston label intact.

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.
