Sam Carlson "Four" Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #4/5

2942


A gorgeous Sam Carlson "Four" bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4 or #5. Serial 774-482, the 4th rod made in 1977. The rod weighs 4.1 ounces on my scale. Mint condition, with no grip soiling, no ferrule cracks, and no brassing to the guides that I can see. Maroon main wraps with black edges at the keeper and ferrules, 3,2,1 black signature wraps. Black stripper and black HSS snake guides. The ferrules are oxidized and coated with varnish. The grip is 6 1/4" long and squared to the tenite front cork check and shaped to a western profile. The seat is hand flatted cork with a perfectly oxidized ring and pocket cap. The rod packs into a tan colored cloth bag and the aluminum tube still has its original brown craft paper wrapping on the outside. A just superb example of a rod by one of the best to ever do it.

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.

Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
