Phillipson Pacemaker '51' Bamboo Rod - 9' 3/2
$ 650
VFT6766
For sale here is a Phillipson Pacemaker 9 foot bamboo rod weighing 5 5/8 oz. The rod was made in 1951, the fifth year of production after Bill Phillipson left Granger. As the story goes, when Bill left Granger after an unsuccessful attempt to buy the company and started his own company, Agnes Marshall told him he would fail within five years. So in his fifth year of production he wrote "51" on each rod made to commemorate this milestone. Gold silks tipped black, down-locking green anodized aluminum reel seat. Medium fast action. Excellent condition. The varnish is mostly in great condition, but there's one spot that has flaked off as shown in the photos. Original bag, not sure about the tube.

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. 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.
