    Description

    7’ 8” Phillipson Smuggler - 4 3/4 oz - 4/1 - c.1952
    The Phillipson Smuggler was
    made for only 1 year—1952.
    The catalog states: “A fine economical fly rod easy to smuggle into your suitcase for light, fast traveling—perfect for week-end fishing while on business trips.
    This 4/1 (made that way) Phillipson Smuggler is in
    Excellent+, all original
    condition. Ferrule sizes are: 19, 15 & 10. This rod casts 5 and 6wt lines effortlessly. Quite possibly the ultimate pack rod for traveling or hikes into the backcountry.
    All sections are full length and straight and the 18% nickel silver ferrules separate cleanly. Near perfect original varnish. Factory inscribed with original owner’s name: “George B. Berger”. Wraps are green nylon tipped in black. Green Aluminum anodized reel seat is in excellent condition with very minor scuffing on the end cap. Round “Welsh” (Full Wells) split jar cork grip is clean and shows little wear. Waldic black butt guide. Perfection snake and tip-top guides. Comes with original green cloth bag and original 24” aluminum with worn off label.
