VFT2823


For sale here is a Phillipson "Pacemaker" bamboo rod - 8' 3/2 for a 5wt line. The rod is in excellent original condition. It has some minor scratches in the varnish and what appears to be a small hook ding just above the grip. All sections are full length and straight. Medium dark rich colored cane, light pea green wraps with gold tipping. The full wells grip still has the Phillipson plastic on it, though it has split and it held on with tape. The grip itself is very clean and free of defects. Bright aluminum down-locking reel seat with a classic bakelite spacer. The nickel silver ferrules are size 15/64 and 9/64 and fit together nicely. Medium dry fly action, capable of everything from small dries to streamers. The Pacemaker is widely praised as an excellent all-around rod for the price. The rod weighs 5.0 oz. Comes with original bag and original aluminum tube with label 90% intact.
