A superb RL Winston fly rod, 8'6", 3-piece, 2-tip, built for a #7 line. Serial #3852 which puts the date of manufacture as September of 2006 and likely one of the last rods from the Glenn Brackett period. 5 ounces according to my scale, slightly above the 4 5/8 ounces listed on the rod. The rod condition is completely mint. The action is medium. Oven tempered wheat straw color cane in three-up node pattern construction. Excellent top-shelf varnish. Yellow/tan main wraps with dark maroon edges at the keeper, ferrules, and tip-tops. Agate stripper and dark snake brand guides. The grip is 7" long in a full wells configuration with a hidden pocket cap. Nickel silver uplocking screwlock seat with a mortised, stabilized walnut spacer. Winston logo printed on the bottom cap. Eggshell colored rod bag with the Winston logo. Aluminum tube with brown crackle paint and gold anodized fittings and Winston data sticker.
