An Orvis Battenkill bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #6 line. The rod weighs 4.1 ounces. Serial #72460. This rod has seen modest use. Some cosmetic cracks in the ferrule wraps from casting and a bit of brassing to the ferrule oxidation are the signs of use. The grip is very clean. On the slow side of medium action, it could easily take a #5 line. Chestnut oven temper cane with three up nodes. Impregnated cane. The wraps are brown with a carbide stripper and chrome plated snake guides. The step ferrule fit is tight and the sections are straight. The ferrules retain 95% of their original oxidation. The grip is a 6 1/2" long blunt cigar. The seat is the standard Orvis downlock aluminum screwlock with walnut spacer. Comes with a green cloth bag and original Orvis tube with the Orvis data sticker about 75% intact.
