Walton Powell Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #5

Walton Powell Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #5A Walt Powell bamboo fly rod, 8', 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5 line. It weighs 4. 1 ounces on my scale. This has been a one owner rod who requested that Walt build this in semi hollow construction, and the original owner's name is inked on the butt along Walt's signature. "S.#2 291" is inked above the male ferrule on both tips and just below the female on the butt. Medium fast full flexing action. The rod is in excellent used condition with some

but it definitely wasn't from fishing as the reel foot is spotless

The rod tube is original but the Payne label has a chip out of it

cutthroat and yayame

Transparent wraps with cinnamon tipping

The age and color of the wraps are consistent on all three sections

a great reel for medium-to-light-duty salmon or steelhead fishing

skip" pattern it has "node

The tube should be shortened to better accommodate the rod as it is about 6" too long

Excellent overall condition

The node spacing on the tips is different

Screws are in excellent condition
