Vintage 7.8’ Hurricane Bamboo Fly Rod from Japan 3-Section – Two tips

Description

Vintage 7.8’ Hurricane Bamboo Fly Rod from Japan 3-Section – Two tips • Picked up at an estate sale years ago and lost in my basement since then. • The ferrule connections are very tight, i.e. hard to push together. • As you can see, some of the wrapping is loose or undone in spots. I’m assuming this rod is over 50 years old, so it doesn’t surprise me. • It has the cloth bag, but it’s in horrible condition. • Length is estimated because of the tightness of the ferrules. All four pieces are the same length, 32 7/8”. • As far as I can tell, all four pieces are free of cracks or splits. There is crazing of the varnish, also not a surprise for a rod of this age. • I am clearly not an expert with fishing gear, I look to other auctions and the internet to see what seems important. If you have questions, ask them early as I’m seldom online while the auctions are closing, and I probably won’t get back to you in time if you wait until near the end of the auction. • Beyond the decal with the name, I have found no other marks or information anywhere on the rod or bag. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. IMPORTANT: My items are sold as described. Photos are part of the description. If your questions are not answered by the description, ask. If you ask a question answered by the description, I’ll ask you to read it. If you hope the item is better than described, wonderful, just don’t expect it. Please ask questions before bidding. I am happy to combine shipping. NOTE: If you are bidding on more than one of my auctions, wait until all have closed and I send you a combined invoice to save you shipping costs. SHIPPING: Shipping in the United States with Tracking is $Calculate. International shipments: None until the rest of the world decides to accept mailed packages from the USA. Refund Policy: Items that are not as described will result in a refund of the bid amount upon return of the item in the condition in which it was shipped. This does not apply to finding a small scratch when the description says minor surface wear or similar issues. If a package is damaged in transit, and if it was insured, the buyer must cooperate in filing the insurance claim (not a big deal). The box and packing material must be kept and available for the post office if an item is insured and damaged in transit. If an issue is not addressed in the description (I attempt to provide comprehensive descriptions) or if the bidder doesn’t understand the description and he or she did not ask a question about it, no refund will be made. Note: if the Post Office damages an item and still delivers it, it will refund only the bid amount and not the postage. I will not make up the difference. Please ask questions before bidding.
