Brandin, Per - Model 835-3ldf, 8'3" 3/2 5wt Hollow Quad Bamboo Rod

For sale here is a Brandin 835-3L df, 8'3" 3-piece / 2-tip 5wt, hollow built quad. Near-mint condition, aside from one very faint mounting mark to the reel seat the rod looks immaculate. Lightly flamed cane with oxidized snake guides and red agate stripper wrapped in transparent olive windings and dark accents. Ferrules fit perfectly and the females are fitted with micarta & cork ferrule plugs. All sections are straight, full length & serialized (1/16).6.4" cork grip is clean & smooth, and the rod is fitted with blued cap & ring reel seat over mortised walnut spacer. Stated & actual weight is 4oz. A superb dry fly rod. Progressive action, on the faster side of medium fast. Marked as a prototype on the data label, other 835-3df quads have been made but this is the only one with the "L" (Light) designation. If you're looking for a pristine example of Mr. Brandin's work, this is a fantastic option for a "do it all" trout rod. Sold in the original bag and tube with makers decal and canvas tube protector.
