The three-tier nickel silver winding check adds a wonderful artistic touch to the rod. Medium dry-fly action. The rod effortlessly loads a DT5.

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.
