19th Century Unmarked Bamboo Travel Fly Rod, 8.5’, 5 pieces with extra tip, $115

$125.00

This very interesting rod probably dates from the 1890s since it has drop rings instead of the later snake guides.  It has 5 pieces and an extra tip, which is 2” short.  The cool handle is perfect and gives you a very good grip.  The bamboo and varnish are good but the ferrule fit is loose on some of them, so this is probably more of a collector rod than a user.  Comes with a later aluminum tube.
