Orvis Battenkill Bamboo Rod - 8' 3/2 6wt 7'4" Great for toting your reelsFor sale here is an 8' 3 2 4 1 2 oz. Orvis Battenkill impregnated bamboo rod. Best with a 6wt line in my opinion. Serial #21525 made in 1957. The rod is in excellent condition. All sections are straight but regrettably the mid section is 1 3 8" short (reset by Wes Jordan). Original bag and labeled tube. Ferrules are size 16 64 and 10 64 with an excellent fit. Aluminum down locking reel seat. Medium action.
