An Orvis Battenkill bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for an #8 or #9. Serial #32634. The rod weighs 5.2 ounces. It has seen some moderate use with some cracks at the ferrule wrap and with one tip needing a re-wrap at the ferrule. The guides show small amounts of brassing and wear, the grip has been cleaned leaving a bit of ridging, and the oxidation on the ferrule welt shows some pressing as well. Dark chestnut oven tempered cane, done in a three up node pattern. Brown main wraps with a carbide stripper. The snake guides are black H.S.S. The rod sections are straight and the ferrule fits are tight. The grip is 6 1/4" long and turned to a slimmish cigar profile. The seat is a downlocking aluminum screw lock with a pocket cap at the bottom. Walnut spacer. The threaded barrel has some scratching possibly from mounting and dismounting a reel. The rod bag is grey poplin with ties. The aluminum rod tube has the original data sticker in 100% original condition.
