Because This Fly Rod's A Keeper, That People Hold Onto. ☆CHECK OUT ALL OUR POSITIVE REVIEWS☆This Is a Great Looking Fly Rod That's Really Only Showing Label Wear. The Cork Looks Like New, The Real Seat Is Not Scratched Up, All Signs Lead Me To Believe This Fly Rod Was Seldom Used, Spending The Majority Of Its Time Stored Away. The Item You See In The Pic's Is The Exact Item You Will Receive. Interesting Side Note: Todays Price VS 1964 This Rod Would've Cost Just Over $500+ with tax. I was curious an used an inflation calc to get a rough idea what this fly rod would cost now vs 1964. $500+ is how much this fly rod would be selling for for today vs $50 back in 1964. This Was An Expensive Fly Rod Especially For 1964. Meaning back then this would equal to buying a $500+ fly rod. NOTE: I PLAN TO LIST OTHER FLY ROD'S & REELS WHEN TIME ALLOWS, SO CHECK BACK OFTEN. Thank You SO... This Rare WONDEROOD "EXECUTIVE" Model Fly Rod Would Be A Terrific Gift For An Avid Fly Fishermen.
