This vintage Winchester split bamboo fly rod is an attractive early American sporting piece from Winchester Repeating Arms Company's well regarded line of fishing tackle produced during the golden age of fly fishing. Measuring 9 feet in length and configured as a 3 piece rod with an extra tip section, this lightweight rod weighs approximately 4.6 ounces assembled and was designed for delicate fly presentation on streams and rivers. Winchester fishing tackle from this period is increasingly sought after by collectors for its quality craftsmanship and connection to one of America’s most iconic sporting manufacturers.

The rod features finely finished split bamboo construction with wrapped guides and a cork grip fitted to the reel seat. Included is the original cloth storage bag and both tip sections. The bamboo shows scattered finish wear, handling marks, age toning, and light cosmetic wear consistent with honest field use. Note that one of the spare tip sections is missing the tip. The wraps and guides remain intact and the rod presents very well overall. This is a handsome and collectible Winchester fly rod with strong appeal for collectors of early sporting tackle, Winchester memorabilia, and classic split bamboo fishing rods.
