| Rods For Sale We are moving to Michigan next spring so the shop will be relocated. We have purchased a cabin and property North East of Grayling by lovells Michigan. Like many guys who fly fish and make rods I have a room full of rods and stuff. I really don't want to move all this so I am posting a bunch of rods for sale. Some are new rods, some are rods I made while learning, some are vintage rebuilds, and there are some graphite rods. They are priced very competitively so they can be moved, and fairly described. I will be adding some other rods and reels so check back every now and then. Add $20.00 shipping and handling to all rods prices. When I receive payment I will ship the rod USPS insured. |
Gone This is a new rod. The taper is RKP #3. I got the
specs from a public domain taper library and tweaked it in a
couple of places. The # 3 is a fairly fast rod and can move a lot
of line. The rod I fish with most is a # 3. It is a 7 foot, 5 wgt rod
being sold as a single tip. The tip wrapped in red was
damaged while I was cleaning up the blanks and repaired. It
wasn't damaged too badly but I won't sell it as a first, so I
finished it and am throwing it in as a backup tip. Wrapped it in
red so there is no mistake which tip is which. A new single tip
rod is ordinarily $700.00. This one comes with sock, tube and
ferrule plug and is $550.00 + S&H

This is a Dickerson 8014 taper single tip 8 foot 6 wgt. I don't
usually make 6 wgt rods or Dickerson tapers, but I put this one
together just because. Planing was a little off and I got a glue
line in the butt section. I have brought this to some club outings
and the guys who cast it liked it. The glue line shown below has
kept it in a tube in corner of the basement. It is a sound rod and
casts well, but I won't sell it as a first. It comes with sock and
tube for $300.00 + S&H.

This is a Gatti 8' 6" (FR865TA) graphite blank I built a few years
ago. It is a fast five weight and fun to cast. Gatti is an Italian
Company and they make good rods. When I was getting this
one ready to wrap there was virtually no spline. Comes with
Gatti sock and tube. $225.00 +S&H

Heddon Black beauty #17, 9 foot, HCH or D. I got this from a guy
who got it from his uncle, and have not done anything to or with
it except a little lawn casting. I have a couple of these and It
cast like you would expect a #17 to. It comes with the original
sock and tube. You can see the second tip is short. The mid
section is about 1/2 inch short as well. Not sure what happened
because it doesn't look like it has been repaired. Sound rod
that casts like it is suppose to. $275.00 + S&H

SOLD Another Graphite rod. This one is a Hexagraphite
Classic 4/5 Wgt, 8 foot, serial #621136. If you are familiar with
the Hexagraph - it is graphite laid out to look like a Bamboo
rod. This one is fast and it is a cannon. You can get out a lot
of line with accuracy. A good rod for fishing the far bank. This
rod probably hasn't been fished a dozen times. I got is from
some guys who run a school and a sell fly fishing tackle. They
got it as a demo and fished it a couple of times. I have had it
several years and since I fish Bamboo these days have only
had it out 5 or 6 times. Comes with the original sack and tube.
$375.00 + S&H.
