In the interest of keeping the stack of rods in the corner from growing completely out of control, I’ve decided to move a couple rods over the next few months – starting with a fished-once 8′3″ 5wt George Maurer bamboo fly rod.

You can read the listing and see the pictures at the Classic Bamboo Fly Rod site (but only the Undergrounders get free shipping).

My goal? End up with a handful of 8.5′ rods that get fished regularly, and that means winnowing my embarrassing collection of 8′-8.5′ rods.

I’m asking $1500 for this fished-once rod that sold for $1695 when new (at least it would have if you could get one; George Maurer – the man who taught more people how to build bamboo fly rods than any other – suffered an untimely death a little over a year ago).

See you at the bank, Tom Chandler.
