Ron Kusse Flamed Quad Bamboo Fly Rod 6'6" 2/2 #4

Ron Kusse Flamed Quad Bamboo Fly Rod 6'6" 2/2 #4A very nice Ron Kusse "Flamed Quad" bamboo fly rod, 6'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4 line. Serial #9700P. The rod weighs 3. 1 ounces on my scale (the tag states 2. 5 but that could be the blank weight). Mint condition. The action is a strong DF. Superb varnish and the rod is pin straight. The cane is flamed with a two opposed node pattern. The main wraps are brown with black, red, and black edges at the keeper, ferrules, and top top. Black

The black ring on the grip was a hallmark of Clapp and Treat rods
