TT opinion: A stunning Foster of Ashbourne The Wisp, 6’6” two piece vintage split cane bamboo fly rod in best collector condition. Line #3/4. Honey colour cane with guides whipped gold tipped green. Bronze suction ferrule with original polished wood and cork stopper. Keeper ring, 8” slim cork handle with light alloy reel fittings, Factory correct throughout. This really is a little Wisp of a rod built for the smaller streams and rivers of Derbyshire or anywhere worldwide you can find to fish it. Correct length, good tight ferrule, it’s seen hardly any use and will be a joy to fish. Comes with maker’s original cloth bag.
