RL WINSTON BORON III SX 8wt 9’ft Fly Rod! This is a four piece rod! This rod is in excellent condition, the only thing to mention is there is writing Edge edge on the sock as seen in the pictures. If you’ve been looking for one of these boron rods, then you know how sought after and loved they are. They do not stick around long! If you love Winston rods but wanted something with a lot more power, this is the rod for you!! This fast action rod can do it all with no problems, it’s made to handle whatever you tie into or on the end of! This rod is faster than the boron iiix. The pictures are made to show the items 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! I also ship fast and can have the rod to you typically within 3 to 5 business days! If you need it faster, please let me know. I have lots of rods listed so if you’re looking for something specific, please take a look! THANKS JASON
