These rods should be fished. I’m lowering the price to $200 each for these just here at Kienes.
Found one. Thanks all.
He’s got one he fishes on a same era Fenwick glass and wants to duplicate the set up. The Garcia Kingfisher fly reels were a variation on the Hardy Lightweight clone theme. The Heddon 300 series...
I have a buddy who is looking for a Garcia Kingfisher GK-42 reel. Even just a frame would work. Doesn’t need to be a collector reel - just fishable.
As some of you may know, I purchased the remaining inventory of the Powell Rod Company from the Powell family in Chico this March. I’m slowly going through and seeing what all I have.
These...
Met Vern and his lovely wife yesterday in Natomas. I picked up a couple of the rods. The rods are in outstanding condition and Vern is a great guy. Some really good gear available here at well...
Probably PM and ask him since Bill doesn’t want gun offers on the forum.
That list of presenters…man what a who’s who of NorCal fly fishing royalty.
Conolon in SoCal. On Walt’s mandrels.
I recently acquired a significant collection of Powell inventory. If you have one of Walt Powell’s Conolon (stainless steel spigot ferrule) or Phillipson blank glass rods I have spare tips for you. ...
The raw silk was imported from China and Japan and spun and dyed here in the US. Belding-Corticelli was a merger between two textile companies that occurred in 1920. They had mills in CT, MI...
For rod wrapping or fly tying…
Offered are 53 spools of NOS Belding Corticelli silk size A on 100 yd spools. All spools are full/new.
All colors available are pictured. The color numbers are...
About a week and a half to go. Just a reminder to come and check it out!
This is a common misconception. Powell rods were never built on Loomis blanks. I have a legal document that confirms this. Powell and Loomis shared a blank rolling facility…initially in Oregon and...
I had a nice chat with our forum host Bill today. He called me trying to remember the name of the Powell’s fly with hackle at both ends. It’s the Buzz Hackle. Here it is as tied and labeled by...
Make your plans to attend! This is pretty much the only show of its kind still happening on the west coast. I’ll be there again with rods and rod building components. Vintage tackle legend Jim...
Looks like $295 is his new price…
Both rods are sold.
Thanks Lance!
8 1/2’er is sold. 7 1/2’er is available. Really rare rod here.
Both rods have been sold.
Rod 1
For sale is a most likely late 60s/70s EC Powell semi-hollow trout rod. Rod is an 8 1/2’ long 2 pc 2 tip. Rod weighs just over 4oz, has a 13 ferrule, and is in...
100%. Which is why Walt did that. Still looked good and way less work.
Walt Powell wrapped a lot of rods with Nymo size A over the years. A lot of guys see a bamboo rod and assume the wraps are silk. Not so with Walton.
None of the links to the rivers are working for me.
That may be intentional. I usually list with a lower price here vs there because I like this forum better. There really isn’t a price history on Yerxa steelhead rods. These rods come up very...
