VintageHeddon 1947-19529 FT, Bamboo FlyRod #125 \"Expert\"
Here wehave a Heddon Expert Split Bamboo Fly Fishing Trade Rod in very fine condition. While these rods have the Heddon namethey were actually exclusively made for and sold by Sears & Robuck between 1947 to 1952 and therefore considered a \"trade\" rod. Sears sold their rods with a grade so to speak of either \"Good\", \"Better\" or Best\" the Heddon #125 was one of few rods that fell into their \"Best\" category.
The #125 Expert was unique in the fact that ithad gold Japanned ferrules and reel seat hardware and gold plated guides and was wrapped in black with gold tipping, giving a strikingly beautiful appearance not offered on many other rods. All in all the #125 Expert is a high quality rod with exceptional eye appeal.
Rod measures a total of 9 feet when assembled.
There are 3 sections to this rod with two top (end) pieces. I will note here that the fit of the sections is tight and would probably require someone who knows what thet are doing to make an adjustment so they fit together easier. Otherwise this rod is in fine condition. Please refer to photos.
All guides and wraps are original and in fine condition. There is a Heddon bag, which has has a tear at the bottom, but is taggerd Heddon. There is no tube.
Rod will be shipped UPS insured.
