For sale here is an R.L. Winston 9' 2/1 5 oz. bamboo fly rod. Serial no. 8847. Merrick-era. The rod is in excellent original condition with one minor exception: the 5th guide down from the tip-top has been re-wrapped. All sections are full length and straight.
Lovely straw colored cane. The rod features champagne-colored wraps with burgundy tipping at the winding check, signature wrap, ferrules, and tip-top. The script remains clean and bold. Bronzed ring hook keeper. Interesting wooden winding check. The full wells grip is 6" in length and only mildly soiled. Down-locking, bright aluminum reel seat with the classic Winston bakelite spacer/body. The Duronze ferrules are size 16/64 with a nice fit. The rod weighs 5 oz. Powerful medium-fast action capable of casting considerable distances. Best suited for a 7 weight line. Includes original bag with SF label and the original tube with 90% of the label remaining.

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.
