A very nice Bob Summers Midge fly rod, 6'6", 2-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #3 or #4. Serial #7194. Weighs 2.4 ounces on my scale. Lightly used condition with light soiling to the grip. The rod is nice and straight. Medium action but full flexing. The varnish is very good. Copper colored main wraps with black edges. The stripping guide is carbide and the snake guides are chrome. The step ferrules are oxidized and retain 100% of the original oxidation. The grip is 5 1/2" long and shaped to a blunt cigar profile. A walnut divider acts as a rear cork check on the all-cork reel seat. The seat is mortised and the mounting system is comprised of two opposed rings. A varnished wood button retains the rings on the seat. The rod bag is blue-green cloth with Bob's logo tag sewed on and the ferrule plugs attached to the bag. The aluminum tube sports Bob's unique brass hardware with "RW Summers Co, Traverse City MI, USA" stamped in the top.
