Vintage Bamboo Fly Rod Southbend 29 Paul Young Orvis? 7'3". This rod is a "puzzeler" not sure of its origins or ancestry but all in all a very nice professionally refinished bamboo fly rod 7'3" in length about a 5 wt. The finish appears to be an excellent impregnated lightly flamed or perhaps just lighter and darker regions as a result of the impregnation. Does not appear to be varnish to me, very uniform low gloss finish. The two tips are matched but a bit longer than the butt s...ection. The tips are 13/64" and numbered 22468, the butt section is not numbered , only marking is 7 1/4'. This is purely speculative, but the rod could be an early Southbend #29, might reflect early Paul Young influence or perhaps Orvis origins or Orvis kit rod? Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
