For sale here is a beautiful rod from J.D. (Jeff) Wagner - a Model 273-FS -- 7'3" 2/2 4-5wt bamboo rod from his Signature series. Serial no. 502-24. The rod is in near mint condition. All sections are full length and straight. 

The rod features darkly tempered flats with wonderful glass-like varnish. It has a taper not unlike the Paul Young Driggs River rod. I would call it a medium fast 4 wt and prefer it as a fully-loading parabolic 5 wt. Transparent dark amber colored wraps with black wraps at the ferrules. Bright guides. Agate stripping guide. Handsome ring hook keeper in a twisted rope pattern. Knurled nickel silver checks. The cigar grip measures 6". Nickel silver up-locking reel seat over a fine mortised walnut spacer. The Swiss-style ferrules have a perfect fit, nice and snug. The rod weighs 4.35 oz.

Includes the original bag with label and black powder-coated tube with label. Don't miss out on this fine rod from a great maker.
