Used R.L. Winston Fiberglass 8' #5 Fly Rod.
A classic 8’ two-piece fiberglass trout rod from Winston’s San Francisco period.
Produced during the late 1960s to early 1970s, this rod would have been sold to West Coast trout anglers during fiberglass’s golden era — before graphite became dominant.
Features include:
-
Brown translucent blank
-
Red wraps
-
Polished metal reel seat
-
Trophy logo decal
-
Internal spigot ferrule
This rod has been fished and shows cosmetic wear appropriate for its age. The spigot ferrule shows some seating wear but remain functional with proper fit.
An excellent opportunity to fish a true San Francisco Winston glass trout taper — smooth, medium action, and distinctly vintage in feel.
Comes with Winston sock (marked 8½’) and non-original tube.
