    Description

    Vintage Baxter Special Bamboo Fly Rod. A CLASSIC!!
    8.5 feet and 4 3/4oz
    .
    11 Guides.
    HDH. LINE.
    This is a very serious and rare Bamboo rod.
    4 pieces including an extra tip which is to be put aside to Rest while you use the other tip. Original leather carrying case with handle and original velvet sock.
    The H.B. BAXTER SPECIAL is a "gentleman's and/or a ladies" rod because of the quality of ALL the material used. Well made, actually to pass on to YOUR generations!
    The leather case has been cleaned with leather cleaner and conditioned as well. NO other changes made to rod or sock!
    My understanding of a high quality bamboo fly rod has ALL the pieces ARE the same length and they are!
    The
    total
    length
    of a bamboo rod is not
    necessarily
    better if it is longer. Actually the shorter the bamboo fly rod the better, because it is lighter and easier to cast
    and to feel the fish on the tip.
    THIS rod is 8.5 feet which is a perfect length!!
    Made in the USA!!
    H.B. Baxter Special Fly Rods were made in Michigan.
    It has a reverse half wells cork grip. Up-locking reel seat with black anodized insert. Agate stripper guide, and Black wraps with red rings. South Bend Ferrules.
    Has been kept in a climate
    controlled
    area, and the rod's varnish is smooth and with-out blemish!
    There is a tiny bit of black paint missing where the pieces connect and is seen in the photo.
    The original leather clasp is there but it has fallen off (because a small piece of leather has fallen off) and can be repaired by a leather craftsman. This is also in photo and has no barring on the quality of the rod.
    Ships in the USA only and buyer pays shipping.
    I THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST AND I DO HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS FABULOUS PIECE OF ART AND HISTORY AS MUCH AS I HAVE
