Orvis - Limestone Special, 8'6" 2/2 6wt Impregnated Bamboo Rod
Sold Out
For sale here is an Orvis 8'6" 2-piece / 2-tip 6wt 'Limestone Special' in excellent+ condition. Serial #85367, made in 1981. Medium tempered, impregnated cane. Bright guides wrapped in dark brown windings with a high bridge carbide stripping guide. Sections are full length, straight and serialized. Ferrules fit perfectly. Scripted weight is 4.5oz, but it's closer to 4.6oz on my scale. Strap & ring hook keeper, 6.5" cork grip is clean & smooth and the rod is fitted with a down-locking aluminum reel seat over walnut spacer. The only signs of use are some very light mounting marks on the reel seat spacer, the rod appears to have been lawn cast only. Action is on the medium side of medium fast, rated as a 6wt but most will prefer a WF5 line. A popular taper and a nice all-around trout rod. Sold in the original bag and tube with silver & green data label, brass cap and blank registration card.
