This OPST fly rod has been only lightly fished, was well taken care of and is in excellent condition overall. Rod blank is extremely clean, minimal to no signs of use. There is a small bubble spot near the tip of the handle section - just an aesthetic thing. Cork handle is just a bit darker than new and without any physical issues. 9.5/10 overall.
Original OPST rod tube and rod sock included.
We do not know if this rod has been registered in regards to warranty.

"OPST’s two-handed rods were designed by legendary angler and Skagit-casting proponent, Ed Ward. Although we’ve only tested the 8-weight, Ed nailed it! According to George Krumm, “The OPST 8-weight is light, strong, capable of launching big rabbit/marabou flies and sink tips ranging from T-8 to T-14, as well as handling the huge, steelhead-sized rainbows for which the Naknek is known.
