Vardanis, Alex – 8' 0" 5wt 50DF

For your consideration is an Alex Vardanis 8' 0" "modified 50DF" bamboo fly rod built with nodeless construction. This is an 8' 0" three-piece for a 5 weight line weighing 4.95 ounces. New with plastic on the grip.

This consists of light tempered cane with amber orange wraps tipped with an ivory cream – a very handsome combination. The grip measures 5 5/8 inches with cap and ring over an ebony spacer. In my hand, the action is medium fast. There is minor chatter in the blank of the mid section and a few minor rough spots in the varnish. Comes in a hex case with a leather strap closure. A nice rod from this London, Ontario builder.
