A mint Aroner Hunt Pattern salmon rod, an 8' 3-piece, 2-tip rod built for a #8 line. Lawn cast only. A nice fast action that will deliver wet flies and dries with authority and precision. Flamed cane, mirrored tips, pressed nodes and wrapped in may rose. Perfect spar varnish. Antique tapered and stamped perfection tip-tops. High-speed steel snake guides. Oxidized swiss ferrules with a collar and recessed knurl. 12 cork 6 inch grip in the western style. Handmade uplocking screw lock aluminum reel seat with "acme" style square threads anodized glossy black. The slide is detached from the nut to allow easy dismounting of the reel and is stamped "Aroner, Maker". A rubber button mounted on a nickel silver ferrule pulls out from the bottom of the reel seat allowing easy mounting of the fighting butt. This has my earlier style brass ferrule plugs. Polished aluminum tube with brass top, bottom, and collar with "Aroner, Maker" stamped between two trim lines. This rod is ready for summer steelheading or chasing atlantics in the maritimes.
