Hello all, I have the opportunity to purchase this 5wt for $500 I’ve been looking for a new 5wt for a while and this being packable is a bonus. They are about 2 hours from me 

looks like it’s in great condition assuming it is is this a good buy? Never had one of their rods. Normally fish Orvis recon 

thank you!

It is a classic premium rod; I have a 4-piece 8'10" 5wt HW (home waters) from 2011 when I converted to TU Life. Nice rod you will be buying without a warranty do a close inspection for nicks and blemishes that could cause failure hard to put a price on it from my perspective due to s/n its pre 2010 looks like a low time fished rod unless they refinished the grips general info

The LT was first introduced in 1996 and continues to set the standard for multi-section rod design. This medium-fast action series is perfect for the discriminating angler who demands a compact design but is unwilling to compromise on action or feel. The LT series features our internal spigot ferrule system, which ensures that the taper and internal diameter of each section perfectly matches the adjoining section. This attention to detail produces a rod that is smooth casting and delicately delivers a fly with incredible accuracy. The LT series is perfect for travel, touring and hiking, and the performance of these rods is unmatched.

It's seems like a good deal.  That's what I sold mine for last year.  I wish I had it back.

Thank you, yes she said it was hardly ever used. From what I understand even out of warranty repairs are reasonably priced. I’ll definitely give it a good look over though
