RL Winston Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #6 7'6" German silver faceplate construction asA nice R. L. Winston bamboo fly rod, 8, 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #6 line. Serial #3618. The rod weighs 4. 4 ounces on my scale. Very modest use, slight hand soiling on the grip, and just the start of casting cracks at the ferrule wraps. Nice feeling DF action.
