Vance, Chris - 885, 8'8" 2/2 5wt Hollow Bamboo Rod
Sold Out
For sale here is a Chris Vance 8'8" 2/2 5wt hollow built rod in excellent+ used condition. A well cared for rod that has seen little use. Flamed cane with 2x2 nodes and book-matched tips. Oxidized snake guides and carbide stripping guide wrapped in transparent brown silks with dark accents. All sections are full length, straight & serialized (#319), and the micro-Swiss ferrules fit perfectly. Signature wraps at 18" & 20" from the butt, and decorative wraps of increasing size towards the grip. A moderately swelled butt leads into the 6" grip (smooth with light hand soiling). Knurled & blued cap & ring reel seat over fine mahogany spacer. The reel seat hardware has some minor bluing loss to the edges. Scripted and actual weight is 3.58oz. Positive, dry fly action. Certainly on the faster side of medium fast, best with a DT5. It can turn over a long leader with precision and it feels like it would be just as comfortable throwing size 20 PMD's as it would terrestrials or brown drakes. Sold in the original bag and tube with maker's decal affixed and custom canvas tube protector.
