Ron Kusse Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #4/5

516


A nice Ron Kusse fly rod  7'6", 2-piece, 2-tips, built for a #4/5 line. Serial #9139. "Mirror tips" model. The hangtag states the weight as 3 3/4 oz but my scale has it at 4.5 oz. Fast DF action and in mint condition. This would appear to be the companion piece to our other listing, serial #9140, as both have one-piece varnished walnut grips and reel seats. Excellent varnish in a 3 up node pattern and a medium wheat straw temper color. Guide wraps are tan with maroon edges at the keeper, ferrules, and tip tops. There are 4 extra wraps at the keeper, purple, brown, tan, and maroon. The tips are mirrored.  The ferrules are Leonard step style and are oxidized jet black. The walnut grip is 5 3/4" long and turned to a slim cigar profile. The cap and ring seat is flatted, varnished Walnut and integrated into the grip. The cap and ring are oxidized and the cap bears the die stamp "Ron Kusse, Maker" opposite the wrap flat. The rod is packed in a cloth bag with Ron's hangtag. It comes with a spectacular all-brass tube.

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.

Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
