ORVIS IMPREGNATED “LIMESTONE SPECIAL” BAMBOO FLY ROD

This is an 8’6” Limestone Special, SN 68547, weighing 4 ½ ounces and marked for a 6wt. It is probably better for most people with a 5wt. The Limestone Special rods were designed with Pennsylvania’s famous limestone creeks in mind. Their action is suited to delicate presentations and long casts. The rod features a down-locking reel seat over walnut, 6 ½” cork grip, bent wire hook keeper, Carboloy stripper, bright snakes, blued ferrules, original bag and tube. Hardware, wraps, and cane are fine. The finish is uniform and clear. Cork shows some soiling, easily cleaned. There is a slight ding on the stripping guide frame. Here is a chance to get a highly-regarded model that seldom comes to market.
