{"product_id":"soeffker-w-g-76-2-2-4wt-bamboo-rod","title":"Soeffker, W.G. - 7'6\" 2\/2 4wt Bamboo Rod","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor sale here is a 7'6\" 2\/2 4wt rod made by Gary Soeffker Jr.. Mint, unused condition. Medium tempered cane with dark guides and golden tan windings with claret tipping. Ferrules fit perfectly. All sections are full length and straight, however neither tip ferrule it mounted perfectly square (one is worse than the other). Serial #4-'79-002, and the original owner's name is inked on the butt. 7\" grip is smooth and bright, and the rod is fitted with a slide band reel seat over fine wood spacer. The finishes are perfect, and the rod appears as delivered. Weight is 3.70oz. Action feels medium progressive, it should be a true 4wt. Soeffker's rods are somewhat scarce, and this is a very fine example. I do have one condition note: one tip top has developed some rust. This should be sanded down before fishing\/casting. Sold in a 2-compartment bag and octagonal aluminum case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos Display',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003eThis item comes from Dean Malencik’s generous donation of vintage rods \u0026amp; reels to Trout Unlimited.
