Ron Kusse Elfin Fly Rod 6'3" 2/2 #4 8'6" When this rod came into

When this rod came into the shop the ferrule fit was a smidge too tight so I cleaned the ferrules for a better fit

Very dark flame cane with lighter nodes

All original and an excellent example of the Leonard Rod Company artistry at that period

There is some minor soiling to the grip and some brassing to the cap and ring and rear cork check

A nice copy of this classic
