Marc Aroner Hunt Pattern Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #5

Marc Aroner Hunt Pattern Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #5A Marc Aroner Hunt Pattern bamboo fly rod, 8', 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5. The rod weighs 4. 9 ounces. Lightly used condition, one tip may have been used once, the other slightly more. Medium action. The grip shows almost no hand soiling. This is a rare rod of mine as the reel seat is all nickel silver with the slide band and pocket cap reminiscent of antique Leonard and Payne rods. Flamed cane done in a three up node pattern. Wrapped olive

The 3-piece configuration makes this rod very easily transportable

The grip is composed of 13 corks in a western style

ferrules and tip-tops

All internal parts are anodized or stainless steel to prevent corrosion

Excellent operating condition with an external patina unlike any other

Dual knobs on S-handle arm

Comes with a cream cloth bag with the Winston logo and a brown crackle paint aluminum tube

or C Level"

displaying polished aluminum rims

collecting and/or restoring bamboo rods

This reel is unlined and the only thing preventing it from being described as mint condition are some very minor marks in the anodized back plate by the drag adjustment knob

Ferrule size is 13/64 and the fit is excellent
