R.L. Winston Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #4 7'9" wrapped brown with heavy wireAn excellent RL Winston fly rod, 7'6" 3 piece, 2 tip model built for a #4 line. Serial #3064. This rod has a pleasant medium action. It's used but very well cared for. The western style grip has some soiling but otherwise I probably would have called this rod mint. The ferrules are good and tight and all rod sections are straight. 3 up node pattern construction. As with all Winston rods of this period, it exhibits superior "build quality" perfect
