An unusual Orvis Nymph model bamboo fly rod, 7'9", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4 line. Staggered ferrule design. Impregnated model. Serial number 80217, built in 1977 by Ron White. Slow action. Near mint condition with just some very faint signs of use. Medium honey cane done in a three up node pattern. Wrapped in a reddish apricot color throughout with chrome guides and tip tops. Circle hook keeper. The ferrules are oxidized and the fit is good. 6" grip shaped to a medium-blunt cigar. Aluminum downlocking screwlock reel seat over a varnished walnut spacer.
