{"product_id":"orvis-battenkill-8-2-2-8wt-bamboo-rod","title":"Orvis - Battenkill 8' 2\/2 8wt Bamboo Rod","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor sale here is an Orvis Battenkill 8' 2\/2 8wt impregnated bamboo rod in excellent used condition. #56547, made in 1969. Dark impregnated bamboo with bright guides, chestnut brown wraps and high-bridge carbide stripping guide. All sections are full length, straight \u0026amp; serialized. Blued 13\/64 ferrules fit perfectly, and the bluing is in great shape. U-shaped hook keeper, nickel silver winding check and down-locking aluminum reel seat over wood spacer. 6\" grip is smooth with just a hint of soiling. Scripted and actual weight is 4 3\/8oz. Medium action. Rated as an 8wt, however as with most Orvis cane rods from this period it casts one line weight below its rating. In this case, a DT7 suits it nicely. Powerful, but still plenty of feel. A rather pleasant heavy trout rod. Sold in the original bag and tube with blue \u0026amp; silver data label affixed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Freestone Vintage Tackle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58958916845728,"sku":"FVT2221","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0398\/3831\/8752\/files\/Orvis-Battenkill8_2-28wtBambooRod-FVT2221-1.jpg?v=1790267772","url":"https:\/\/www.freestonevintagetackle.com\/products\/orvis-battenkill-8-2-2-8wt-bamboo-rod","provider":"Freestone Vintage Tackle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
