Temple Fork Outfitters Finesse Fly Rod
3 Weight 7'9" 4 pieces 2.8 ounces

Lamson Konic 1.5 Reel w/ Rio Grand 3 wt. line and dacron backing.

Included is reel pouch, rod sock, and homemade plastic rod holder (like the BPL Case)

I am selling this as a combo. I used it in the Golden Trout Wilderness for three days and two other times on local lakes. It is in excellent condition except for discoloration of the cork grip from normal use. I may have to ship in two boxes. I have another rod that I use more often so I am selling this one.

$235 Shipped.

PM or reply if you are interested.

David - sweet deal on a nice setup. If I didn't already have too many fly rods I'd bite (pun intended). Using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on the cork does a good job of brightening up the cork to near original tones. Someone please buy this before I do.

I have more flyfishing gear than I'll ever use, but I agree that this is a real bargain. Temple Fork makes great inexpensive rods.

Klas, I sent a PM to you back. Sale is pending to Klas. I hope you catch tons of trout with it!


Brian, thanks for the tip about the magic eraser. I have never heard about that trick. I will try that in the future for my other fly rods.

I am off this weekend to the Little Red River in Arkansas for some brown trout fishing. It is going to be awesome!
