An Orvis Madison bamboo fly rod 8'6", 2-piece, 1-tip, and built for a #9 line. Serial #67808, built in 1972. The one tip is 1 3/4" short. Aside from the short tip the rod is in good used condition with normal cosmetic wear but nothing substantial that I could find. Powerful medium action. The rod is straight and the ferrule seats fully. Medium color impregnated cane done in a three up node pattern. Wrapped dark red throughout with a carbide stripper and chrome guides and tip top. Oxidized step ferrules. 6 1/2" long grip that's shaped to a medium blunt cigar with a fair bit of hand soiling. An aluminum downlocking screwlock reel seat over a varnished walnut spacer. The rod packs into a green cloth bag and the original tube with the data sticker 90% intact.
