John Bradford Bamboo Fly Rod 7'9" 3/1 #5 10' A history of the club

A history of the club from its beginnings in the 1920's when it purchased property in the canyon along the South Platte

I found a draw die house that could re-draw it to a highly polished condition

one that reminds me of working closely with Tom Maxwell

The reel seat is a black anodized down-locking screw lock with a cork spacer and a pocket cap

There is a clear wrap on cracked node and seam halfway up on the mid-section

Good used condition with some basic cosmetic wear from use but no major issues that I can find (there is a small and relatively minor hook dig above the second guide up on the mid). The rod is straight and the ferrule fits are good. Inked "JA Bradford Mod. 791511", "Legacy", "7'9" 4 3 8 ounces", and "SN. 1650" on successive flats
