RL Winston Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 3/2 #6 2-piece PersonallyA nice RL Winston bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 3 piece, 2 tips, built for a #6 line. Serial #3027, a Brackett era rod dating to 1995. The lettering on the rod states the weight as 4 5 8 ounces but my scale puts it at an even 5. Mint, zero signs of use although there are several bag guide dents in the grip from storage. Medium slow action. Light wheat straw temper and the nodes are in a three up pattern. Light tan wraps with dark maroon edges at the keeper,
