Orvis 8 ft 3pc/2 tips early varnished rod

SKU:

Orvis 8 ft 3pc/2 tips early varnished rod. My old friend and mentor Peter Phelps was very fond of these early varnished Orvis rods. They generally have an action closer to an Edwards or Payne than the later Orvis tapers we are more familiar with. This one remains in at least very good condition, dead straight with perfect ferrule fits. It feels to me like it will want a #5 line; the perfect all round trout rod. It is marked on the label for an HDH line which would be a 6, but Orvis is well known to over-line their rods. A few spots on the original varnish could use attention and touch up, but quite minor. In original bag and labeled Orvis tube. Interestingly, the label gives a 'vibration number' of 136, apparently something Orvis did to identify the speed of the rod. From the collection of Thomas H. Clark
