Homer Jennings Wind River Fly Rod 7'9" 2/2 #5

576


A very nice Homer L Jennings fly rod, 7'9", 2-piece, 2-tips, built for a #5 line. Serial #413. A "Wind River" model labeled "23-4-96". This rod is in near mint condition with just a hint of brassing to the butt cap edge and a micro amount of hand soiling to the grip. Medium fast action. The ferrule fits are just right and the rod is very straight.  Excellent quality varnish work.  The rod tempered to a wheat straw color and is built in a three up node pattern construction. The main wraps are light yellow with a very small brown edge and brown at the ferrules. The ferrules are a truncated swiss-style design and are oxidized black. On the wrap flat is the lettering "no 413 - H. L. Jennings- 7ft 9in #5" and one flat right "23-4-96".  Three flats right "Wind River". The keeper is one flat left. The grip is 6" long and what I would call a weight forward cigar. The reel seat is an oxidized cap and ring and the wood is a well-varnished and mortised west coast Maple burl. The rod is packed in a cloth bag and the aluminum tube is anodized black with the collar and top anodized gold. A very nice little rod here.
