RL Winston Bamboo Fly Rod 8'9" 2/2 #7/8 9 Weight though it fishes great upA nice RL Winston bamboo fly rod, 8'9", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #7 8 line. Serial #2982, a Montana era rod. The stated weight of the rod blank is 4 7 8 ounces, and the finished rod weighs 5. 5 ounces on my scale. The action is on the faster side of medium. The rod is in near new condition, just with some minor grip darkening. Light wheatstraw color cane with three up nodes. The wraps are light brown with maroon edges at the keeper, ferrules,
