Summers, R.W. - Model 275, 7'6" 2/2 4wt Bamboo Rod

For sale here is an R.W. Summers Model 275, 7'6" 2/2 4wt bamboo rod in near mint condition. Dark flamed bamboo, 3x3 nodes, oxidized guides and transparent brown windings. Blued 13/64 ferrules fit perfectly. All sections are full length and serialized (#12679), and one tip has a slight set. This is a bit of a head scratcher as the other tip is quite straight and the rod looks essentially unused. Bent look hook keeper, 6" cork grip and dual slide bands over cork spacer & walnut butt/cork check. All the cork is pristine. Weight is 3.07oz. Medium fast, semi-parabolic action, best with a DT4. A beautiful rod from the bench of Bob Summers, looking much the same as it did on the day of delivery. Sold in the original bag and tube. 

This item comes from Dean Malencik’s generous donation of vintage rods & reels to Trout Unlimited. Proceeds from the sale benefit both the national organization of Trout Unlimited and your local chapters. Learn more about Dean’s gift in the March 2025 issue of Trout Magazine
