Over the next few weeks I will be offering some rods for sale owned by a local surgeon who is retiring and relocating so most of what is being sold will not be used for the type of fishing he'll have available. Every rod I will list is at least very good plus to excellent and the photos will show how well they were maintained even traveling to New Zealand and other fly fishing destinations and being fished often his maintenance routine was impeccable.

Today up for your consideration is a 4 3/8's oz 8' 2 piece with 2 tips Orvis Battenkill in excellent, original condition with original bag and labeled tube. S/N is in the 57xxx range meaning it was built during the period Wes Jordan was director of rod building and by the very capable hands of head rod maker Ron White.

The rod is one of the best 6 wt casters in the 8' Battenkill model even though those familiar with the line size designation used by Orvis it is listed at a higher line size. All sections are full length, free of hook digs and the original wraps are not dry and just glisten. Here is a chance to own the best 8' Battenkill taper for many years.

Asking $495 or best offer plus shipping, I don't charge for packaging it will be at cost via your preferred shipping method. Since these are not my rods I will accept personal checks, bank checks and postal money orders bit local and international, rod will ship when funds clear. Will happily respond to any questions, unless I've completely misrepresented the rod all sales are final as there is a small window for selling and the move and I don't wish to pay for the rods myself, regards.
