Abercrombie and Fitch Triton Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #5
$ 575

An Abercrombie & Fitch Triton bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #5 line. "Heddon" is stamped into the wood of the reel seat, and was presumably the manufacturer of this rod for A&F. It weighs 4 1/2 ounces on my scale. Used, but full length and the varnish is in overall good condition. Unfortunately, the grip has been cleaned, leaving it ridged. It has a very pleasing action. The cane is lightly flamed to a caramel color, with lighter nodes and a graceful swell that tapers up to the grip. The main wraps are red with gold edges. There are 3 red signatures and 2 gold. The ferrules are polished bright and the males are formed in one-piece and are seamless. The dark snake guides are high arch and high slant which I associate with the 1930s. The grip is a very generous 7" long and styled to a Western profile. The seat is a downlock screw lock with the aluminum nut anodized black while the barrel is polished. As noted, the wood spacer is stamped "Heddon" and something else which is just a bit too faint to read. The rod packs into a green cloth bag and an aluminum tube.

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.
