Chris Raine (Dunsmuir Rod Co) 8'3" 3/2 #5 Bamboo Rod

Chris Raine (Dunsmuir Rod Co) 8'3" 3/2 #5 Bamboo RodFor sale here is an extremely nice hollow built bamboo rod made by Chris Raine 8'3 2 2 for a 4 or 5 weight line (I'd call it a true 5 weight). The rod is in unfished condition. The action is authoritative and on the medium side of medium fast. Flexes deep into the butt if called upon (plenty of reserve power). Back in 2011, Chris called it his "Fin Deluxe" model. Powell style grip, oxidized ferrules and guides, transparent silks tipped with dark

fiberglass pack rods
