Orvis Battenkill Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #6

Orvis Battenkill Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #6An Orvis Battenkill bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #6 line. Impregnated model. The rod weighs 4. 1 ounces on my scale. Serial #12564 which dates it to 1952, though the rod was later refinished in 1997 as noted on the inside of the tube cap. Medium fast action, and the rod is nice and straight. Excellent refinished condition, it does not appear to have been used much (if at all) post refinish. Darker cane done in a three up node

built in 2013 in wonderful state of Colorado

Duronze ferrules over-wrapped with tan silks

The rod remains in like new condition
