Description: R.L. Troutman & Co. is pleased to offer for your consideration: Let's talk about this fly rod: A lovely, custom-built RL Troutman bamboo fly rod built on Authentic Gene Edwards bamboo blank, measures at 7' in length, three sections with an extra tip. Our blank comes from a trusted supplier in Connecticut, and was inspected for straightness, etc. We finished this blank in a velvety-smooth "French" finish by applying four coats of Tru-oil and polishing with jeweler's rouge after each coating. All parts are new, custom built by hand. This hand-built rod features close-whipped Rice's "Wine" silk wrappings throughout with end wraps of French beige and teal at ferrules, tips, and winding check; top quality black finish "Snake" brand guides with a deep amber-orange 8mm agate stripping guide; hook keeper; winding check. Ferrules are chrome plated brass, tight-fitting that give a satisfying "pop" when separated; top grade Charles Ritz-style cork grip; reel is seated and secured with a down-locking cap & ring "wedding band" type of anodized aluminum in gunmetal/pewter tone, set off with a lovely honey-tone bamboo wood spacer. Line weight designation #4/5-weight. Action is medium fast; weighs approx. 3.2 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 a Payne Perfectionist and can be yours for much less. We lawn cast it with a Scientific Angler WF5F line and it performed smartly with exciting accuracy and responsiveness. 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.
