Orvis Battenkill Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 3/2 #4 9'3" A spectacular small stream dryAn Orvis Battenkill bamboo fly rod, 7', 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4 line. Serial #88349. The rod weighs 3 3 8 ounces on my scale. Medium slow action flexing fully into the grip. Used condition the ferrule fits are good but the tips could use a bit of straightening. The grip has a good bit of hand soiling and some of the writing on the shaft has been lost. Medium oven temper cane, much lighter in color than the earlier models. Resorcinol glue
