Sold – Burkheimer Spey 3113-4v - ROD1132

The C.F. Burkheimer 3113-4 is widely considered the quintessential tool for the "fine and far off" game of trout spey. At 11 feet, 3 inches, this 3-weight two-handed rod is designed specifically for swinging soft hackles and small streamers with a delicate touch. It possesses the signature "Burkie feel"—a deep, soulful load that extends into the cork, providing intuitive feedback while maintaining a crisp recovery for accurate, effortless casting. Ideally suited for Scandi heads or light Skagit systems in the 200-300 grain window, it turns everyday trout water into a broad canvas for two-handed expression.

This rod features Burkheimer’s coveted "Vintage" build, a cosmetic package that elevates the rod to an heirloom-quality piece of art. The blank is rolled in-house and finished in a stunning translucent black. It is appointed with a smoked nickel reel seat featuring a California Buckeye wood insert, a five-layer cork inlay, and smoked Nanolite stripping guides. Every detail, from the hand-sorted Flor grade cork to the understated winding check, reflects a commitment to craftsmanship that few modern manufacturers can match.

This pre-owned rod is in Great condition. It has been meticulously cared for, with only a few very small rub marks on the blank preventing it from being classified as Like New. Structurally, it is flawless, offering the performance of a custom-ordered build without the months-long wait time or the full retail price tag. This is a rare opportunity to own a legendary Pacific Northwest trout spey rod with plenty of soul left to give.

Step into the rhythm of the swing with this masterfully crafted instrument.
