A custom-built RL Troutman bamboo fly rod built on Leonard 50H taper bamboo blank, measures at 8' in length, four sections, single tip. Our blank comes from a trusted supplier in China, and was inspected for straightness, etc. This blank is finished in velvety-smooth marine spar varnish; all parts are new, built by hand. This hand-built rod features close-whipped PacBay "Ruby red" size A nylon wrappings throughout with 18" signature wrap in black & ruby red; top quality black finish "Snake" brand guides with a titanium stripping guide; hook keeper; winding check. Ferrules are chrome plated brass, tight-fitting that give a satisfying "pop" when separated; top grade Full Wells-style cork grip; reel is seated and secured with an up-locking envelope and screw-type of anodized aluminum in black tone, set off with a lovely amber-tone burled hardwood spacer. Line weight designation #7/8-weight; Action is medium fast; weighs approx. 4.3 oz. No rod case, but cotton poplin rod sock included. Rod will be properly packaged, insured and shipped by reliable carrier. This rod was made by award-winning author, Richard Landerman, writer of fly-fishing stories. Comparable brand name rods of this class sell these days for upwards of $700-1000! This rod has the feel and action comparable to an original Leonard and can be yours for much less. We lawn cast it with both a Scientific Angler WF7F and WF8F lines and it performed smartly with exciting accuracy and responsiveness, especially with the 8-weight.. It's more than a wall hanger: if you have a hankering to fish with it you will be pleasantly surprised at how accurately it casts and how it can handle nymphs as well as delicate dries and small streamers. From trout to panfish to smallmouth bass, this rod will serve the purpose for which it was intended - to be fished for years to come and then passed down to succeeding generations! FREE signed copy of Mr. Landerman's book THE FLY ROD PROSPECTOR included. NOTE: offered is rod only, reel NOT included; no returns.
