 • Classic ‘Leonard’, ‘Garrison’ and ‘Payne’ tapers • Stunning ‘flamed’ bamboo tortoiseshell appearance • Agate butt and hayfork tip rings with chrome snake rings with translucent tyings • Deep action with swelled butt providing power and excellent dampening characteristics GLADSTONE (SPLIT BAMBOO)Named in tribute to Callum Gladstone, our master-builder of split-bamboo fly rods, the first thing that you will notice about this new rod is its spectacular appearance. Prior to the building process, the finest Tonkin bamboo is hand-flamed, resulting in a rich, dark brown tortoiseshell finish. This two-piece rod series is available in three sizes, each with its own individual taper that celebrates the achievements of some of the greatest American split-cane rod builders of the past: the Leonard family, Everett Garrison and Edward Payne. Minute adjustments are made to the Hardy precision planning form, to painstakingly recreate a modern version of these classic tapers. The perfect angle and taper on each spline means that the finished rod forms a perfect hexagon. Each rod shares in common the ‘swelled butt’ that contributes considerable backbone to the feel, allowing a deep action to be combined with excellent dampening characteristics. Rod Specifications:

<< AT LEFT: Lee Wulff lands a wild salmon on a bamboo rod. Lee Wulff Classic Bamboo Rod Lee Wulff spent a lifetime pursuing larger fish on lighter tackle. He frequently used a one-piece, six-foot bamboo rod -- similar to this -- to catch
trout and salmon up to 26 lbs! for a sporting challenge. Six feet, one-piece medium action for a 5 weight line, this rod is made to Lee's original tapers by an experienced cane builder and friend of Lee. Each rod is hand crafted from Tonkin cane that is cured, then cut to exacting tolerances, assembled and impregnated for a crisp action. Accented with deep blue wraps on hardened chrome snake guides. Features a small cigar grip of premium Portuguese cork, nickel silver butt cap and sliding ring.
Comes with aluminum rod tube and cloth sack. 2.5 oz. Lee Wulff Classic Bamboo Fly Rod - 6' / 5wt. (One Piece) - $950.00

DIAMONDGLASS When Diamondglass was first introduced, the series was met with loads of skepticism by everyone -- except by those who cast them and fished them that is! The Diamondglass series of fly rods are in a class by themselves. Made of S2 fiberglass, they are light, responsive, accurate and uniquely sensitive. Designed primarily for small stream fishing, the series continues to expand with models for a wider variety of fishing conditions. Diamondglass rods are magnificently finished in black gloss with highly polished rosewood reel seats and stainless chrome guides with a hialoy insert in the stripping guides.
