Aroner Fishing Creek 7'6" 2/2 #4 M Prototype 6'3" Some brassing to rear corkAn Aroner Fishing Creek Prototype fly rod, 7'6", 2 piece, 2 tip built for a #4. This was the very first of this model, possibly made in the late 1980's. Near mint condition. Medium full flexing action without being too slow. Oxidized and truncated swiss style ferrules with a collar and inset slant knurl. Wheat straw colored cane with light brown wraps and double wrapped at the ferrules. Superb spar varnish, as I had learned from Tom Maxwell. 3 up node
