Orvis Madison bamboo rod 8' 7'4" Near mint++ condition with originalHere we have a workhorse of the Orvis fleet, the Madison single tip 8'. This rod is marked as an 8wt on the shaft and tube, but due to its minimal weight, it really casts any line from a 6 8 very nicely. I think it just sings with a WF7 and would make a terrific bass rod or streamer rod. Other than some cork soiling, this baby is ready for another 50 years of carefree fishing. The cork is very smooth and the ferrules fit excellent. Original bag and
