Description
Bruce & Walker 'Bruce' H/D Hexagraph 15' 3-piece salmon rod #10-12 in excellent used conditionHopefully the photographs do this rod justice, it is in excellent condition and comes from the collection of a family friend. I don't belive this rod has been used since the late 1990'sAt this time this rod came out, Bruce & Walker were leading innovators in fly rod design in the UK and were pioneers in developing the use of graphite in rod building. The Hexagraph range were conceived to benefit form the lighter weight that graphite blanks offered, but using the hexagonal shape associated with split-cane rods in a innovative way to resolve the 'ovaling' of tubular blanks under stress; the hexagonal shape being stronger and less prone to distortion under load. A similar idea re-appeared more recently by Loop with the 7x range.The rod comes with makers red velvet bag and the all important section plus are present - as can be seen in the photographs. Please look at the photographs carefully, they should show the condition of the rod well, but if you need additional detail/pictures please do get in touch.Collection in or near Inverness welcome.
