Description

In very good condition for its age. This rare and early B. James (Ealing) 9′ #6 split cane fly rod features a smooth cork handle with an unlocking alloy screw-thread reel seat, burgundy silk whippings with neat intermediate wraps, and tight suction ferrule joints. The rod is beautifully straight and offers a superb, responsive action with a wonderful feel in hand. Complete with its original rod bag.

Ideal for the traditional angler who enjoys surface fishing for carp or simply appreciates a classic piece of B. James craftsmanship. While best known for their coarse fishing rods, this early example from the Ealing era stands out as a desirable fly rod with great crossover appeal.
