For sale here is an R.K. Bolt bamboo rod -- 8'0" 2/2 for a 5wt with a marked weight of 3 7/8 oz. Serial number 1207. The rod is in excellent condition though it could benefit from a light polishing. All sections are full length with sets in both tips.

Copper wraps and yellow tipping. The tips are numbered at the ferrules along with the serial no. Bronzed ring hook-keeper. Reverse half-wells grip with only light soiling. Bright nickel silver uplocking reel seat over a gorgeously figured mortised wood spacer. "R.K. Bolt Maker" is engraved on the locking ring. The ferrules are size 14/64 with an excellent fit. Includes hand-turned bronze and cork ferrule plug. The actual weight of the rod is 3.75 oz. The action is a medium-fast that recovers nicely. The butt has a good bit of backbone while the thin tips allow for considerable delicacy, finesse, and tippet protection. The rod includes original bag and tube with label. Stamped in the cap is "R.K. Bolt Rod Maker.".
