Mike Clark Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 2/2 #5

2312


A nice Mike Clark (South Creek Limited) bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, built for a #5 line. Serial #201227. The rod weighs 5.4 ounces on my scale. Medium action. Very light use, bordering on lawn cast only. One tip has the start of a cosmetic casting crack on the ferrule wraps (quite common) and could use a tiny bit of straightening, but that's about it. Light flame cane done in a spiral node pattern. Brown wraps with an agate stripper and black snake guides. The oxidized swiss ferrules fit well. The grip is a generous 7" long and made of 1/4" corks, and shaped to blunt-nose Western profile with a hidden pocket cap for the uplocking screwlock. The mortised spacer is flame walnut with a small bit of filler here and there. The slide is stamped "South Creek Ltd, Maker, Lyons, Colorado". The rod packs into a blue cloth bag and black crackle painted tube with brass hardware and Mike's data sticker affixed to it.

Shipping Information

There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
Other Terms
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
