Marc Aroner Hunt Pattern Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5

777


A Marc Aroner Hunt Pattern fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, built for a #5 line. Lightly used with a small amount of hand soiling. The grip is currently covered with heat shrink plastic (not applied by me). Crisp, DF action. The rod would date to the mid-to-late 1980's, as there is no roller die stamp and I did these seats in a Catskill-style with a wood lip to the cork grip rather than a rear cork check. This is a rare two-piece model, which are pretty hard to come across these days. The nodes are three up pattern with flamed cane. The wraps are a garnet red with orange edges, and a single edge of very dark red at the keeper only. "Aroner 7 1/2 DT5 Hunt Pattern" is lettered into the wrap flat. The stripping guide is carbide and the snakes are high arch high speed steel. The ferrules are polished bright and are a truncated swiss-style with a collar that has an incised slant knurl. The grip is a 5 1/2" slim cigar. The cap and ring seat is polished nickel silver. The seat is a mortised highly figured walnut.

Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
