Jim Schaaf Dickerson 8014 Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #4

2147


A Jim Schaaf rendition of the Dickerson 8014 model bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #4 line. "The Dickerson 8014" and serial number "80-6-99" are lettered on the butt on successive flats. The rod weighs 4.2 ounces on my scale. Lightly used condition with a little bit of soiling to the grip. Medium-fast action. The rod is straight and the ferrule fits are good. The cane is a medium-light wheatstraw and the nodes are done in a three up pattern. The rod is wrapped brown with black tipping throughout, including four signature wraps halfway between the keeper and the stripping guide. Both tips are inked "80-6-99" and "DH" (the original owner's initials) on successive flats just above the male ferrule wrap. Oxidized step ferrules. The grip is 6" long with a semi-western profile to it with some moderate soiling. The reel seat is an aluminum downlocking screwlock seat over a varnished wood spacer. The butt cap has the maker's stamp on the opposite side of the pocket. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and an aluminum tube with brass fittings (the original owner's name is engraved on the top of the cap) and the data sticker affixed to it. The tube also has an orange outer rod tube bag.

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.
