Kreider, C.M. - 8' 2/2 5wt Penta Bamboo Rod
$900.00
For sale here is a scarce Claude Kreider 8' 2/2 5wt Penta bamboo rod in excellent original condition. Claude M. Kreider is perhaps best known as the author of "The Bamboo Rod: And How to Build It". He made 5-strip and 6-strip rods in southern California in the mid 20th century and his rods seldom surface. This one features medium toned cane, bright guides and gold wraps. Super-Z ferrules fit perfectly, and all sections are straight and full length. The distinctive cork grip is clean and smooth, and the rod is fitted with a gold aluminum reel seat. Scripted and actual weight is 4 3/8oz. Action on the faster side of medium fast. A delightfully responsive 5wt, and it appears to have seen very little use. Sold in the original bag and Champion tube.
