For sale here is an R.L. Winston IM6 8'6" 5wt 3pc graphite rod. Serial no. 46730. The rod is in as new condition. Beautiful emerald green sanded blank with matching wraps, burgundy tipping at the signature wrap. Bright guides. U-shaped hook-keeper. Spigot ferrules for a smooth transition of energy and a more streamlined profile. The sections fit together perfectly with a 1/4" gap to account for wear over time.

Etched in the bottom of the butt cap is, "R.L. Winston Rod Co.". The rod weighs an even a 3 oz. on our digital scale. The action is a bit slower and with more feel than most modern graphite rods.
