Well new to me anyway: 9' 2/2 Orvis Impregnated Battenkill c. 1957, beautiful all original condition with original sock and tube. Cool little removeable fighting butt and there's even a pocket on the sock for it; I love stuff like that. Got a Battenkill reel of similar vintage also. The rod is rated for an 8DT but I hoped it would handle a 7WF OK and it seems to. I really didn't need another rod, especially one this heavy, but it had been haunting me for a while so I figured what the heck. First fish on it wasn't much but later this cat put a nice bend in it!
