Bamboo rod

Here's a chance for somebody to get into bamboo for a song - ready to fish refinished, probably South Bend 59, $100 shipped to Conus. It's a 7'6", likes a 5 wt line. Please delete, rod traded.

PM sent.
Thanks,

Price lowered to $100.

I see that a pm has been sent to you. Has the rod been sold yet?

hey, next in line, is this bamboo rod sold yet?

Still got the rod.

herefishy,

I'm thinking your rod is most probably a Model 51, not 59.
The Model 59 was a 3 piece bass taper for a 7 or 8 weight line.

Are the wraps original or were they originally gold, tipped black?

If it is indeed a Model 51, it's a good rod for the money.

I am going to pass on the rod. Money is just a bit tight right now.

Thanks for the info, Bob, I worked this up a while ago, and thought that was what the Clark's folks intuited. It was wrapped in scarlet.

If original scarlet, then probably a Model 260.

Man, somebody better jump on this before I do. The wife says, and I quote, "YOU DO NOT NEED ANOTHER BAMBOO FLY ROD". Can't imagine why.....

Anybody who might be interested in this rod, I have to go out of town for a couple of days, so will return pms when I get back.
