A Sweetgrass “Mantra” bamboo fly rod, 7'9", 2-piece, 1-tip, and built for a #5 line. The rod weighs 4.3 ounces. Serial 13-016.  Made with one tip. 6 strip design. Used condition. There is one rotten spot in the bamboo on the butt that has begun to crack the varnish, several varnish chips from hook impacts in the tip, and the rod has a slight downward set. Light wheatstraw color cane with a two-opposed node pattern. The main wraps are reddish brown with black edges at the keeper, ferrule, and tip top. Carbide ring stripper and chrome snakes. This rod has a wrapped over truncated step ferrule. The grip has 6" of cork turned to a faintly expressed full Wells. The reel seat wood is unvarnished west coast maple burl. The seat hardware is polished nickel silver down lock screwlock with a double rope knurl nut, an inletted slide and a pocket cap with a rope knurled cap (note: the pocket cap is slightly loose – will rotate about 10°, but will not come off.) The rod packs into a dark red cloth bag and brown painted aluminum tube with a Sweetgrass sticker applied.
