Sigman, Bob - 8' 3/2 5-6wt Bamboo Rod

For sale here is an 8' 3/2 5-6wt bamboo rod made by California rod maker Robert Sigman. Excellent used condition, featuring medium toned cane, 2x2 nodes and dark snake guides wrapped in transparent brown windings & black tipping. All ferrules were recently reset, and the fits are perfect. All sections are full length & serialized (#9107), and both tips have the faintest of sets. 6.5" cork grip is smooth with light soiling, and the rod is fitted with an up-locking reel seat over fine wood spacer. Weight is 4.90oz. Medium fast action, I like it best with a WF6. This was a personal rod of the maker, a favorite for coastal steelhead. Sold in the original bag and replacement Champion-style tube.

A note on Bob Sigman's rods from Per Brandin. "The quality of his rods was in my opinion deserving of wider recognition; they were always beautiful with top grade workmanship and as I remember his actions were very good. I did share with him the semi-hollow construction that I developed and then evolved with Mario while in California and I believe many of his rods incorporate this semi-hollow construction, though I believe he also made many solid rods throughout his career. Bob was a gentleman and a quality bamboo rod builder, and he will be missed."
