RL Winston Bamboo Fly Rod 6'6" 2/2 #4 8'4" just a slight swellA nice RL Winston bamboo fly rod, 6'6", 2 piece, 2 tip and built for what feels to me like a #4. Serial #1906 from the Bracket era. 2. 6 ounces (the listed weight of 2 1 8 oz does not include the reel seat). Modest use with some light grip soiling and an area opposite the inscription where a hook dig has been expertly filled in. Medium action. Wheatstraw temper cane done in a three up node pattern. Superb varnish. Tan or yellow wraps with cinnamon
