RL Winston Bamboo Fly Rod 7’6” 2/2 #4

RL Winston Bamboo Fly Rod 7’6” 2/2 #4An R. L. Winston bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4 line. Serial number #2957. The rod weighs 3. 3 ounces. Medium action. Near mint condition. Some of the dip varnish is worn out on the snake guides, but just barely, and the cork grip is nice and clean. Tan color oven tempered cane with three up node pattern. The varnish quality is superb, as it always is with Winstons done in the Brackett period. The main wraps are an apricot

Quite the package

Suited best for a 7 weight with the dry tip and an 8 weight line with the wet tip

Good used condition with some moderate rim rash to the frame edge and some light rubbing throughout the rest of the frame

The seat has 2 small opposed rings and the wood looks like Koa

Annie’s boldness of stroke and use of deep rich color sets the mood of this dramatic painting

all in near mint condition

Agate stripper and bronze reverse twist snake guides

Me" and F59

Truly a fantastic offering

based on a somewhat unusual guide arrangement near the butt ferrule and because of some correspondence between the original owner and Pinky which references a cut down at the request of the owner (which I have seen but is not provided with the sale)

The other two I have for sale come with a white handle

The serial number is 051
