$ 1,800
2531
A nice Ron Kusse "Catskill" Model bamboo fly rod, 7', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4 line. Serial #2805. The hang tag notes that the rod is made from pre-embargo cane. Fast D.F. action. The rod is mint, no sign of casting at all. Wheatstraw color cane with three-up node pattern. The main wraps are transparent with thin red edges. The stripper is an agate, and the snakes and tip tops are chrome. Ron has always been known for his finish work and this rod is no exception. The varnish is perfect and glass smooth. The step ferrules are polished bright. There is no front cork check and the grip is a medium cigar with a wood lip on the reel seat acting as the rear cork check. The curly maple spacer is flatted and has a nice coat of varnish. The cap and ring hardware are polished and the cap has the stamp "Ron Kusse, Maker." The rod packs into an eggshell color bag with a stiffener and hang tag. The hang tag states the rod weight 2 5/8 ounces (the weight on my scale is closer to 3.2). The rod tube is frost coated with brass fixtures.

There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. 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.
