RL WINSTON LTX 8wt 9’ft Fly Rod! There might be some scratches on the tube but Rod is in excellent condition as you can see from the pictures! The pictures are made to show the Rod’s condition not to hide anything. With that said, please don’t mistake the glare of light on the rod for scratches, they are not scratches. You don’t come across these too often, especially in this condition! Rod also has a removable butt. Just a beautiful Rod & is an absolute pleasure to fish! This Rod has Winston‘s smooth, medium fast action! One of those Rod you can’t go wrong with specially! I ship priority which usually take 3 to 5 days!! THANKS JASON
