A scarce Everett Garrison model 204 bamboo fly rod, 7', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4. The rod weighs 3 ounces. Faster action. I think it may fish a #3 well too. The 5th rod Garrison made in 1945. The varnish on this rod is in shockingly good condition and I would rate the rod in the light use category. The rod is fully original and everything is correct. The finish on this rod is the best Garrison I have ever seen. There are two condition matters to note which are that the olive tip has a hook impact 2 guides down from the tip top that caused the start of a splinter but it has been glued over and appears to be holding just fine. The second is that the red tip is 1/4" short. Blond cane with a spiral node pattern. The main wraps are fully transparent white, black (or dark brown) at the keeper and brown at the ferrules. The early style ferrules are oxidized. The stripper is carbide and the snakes and tip tops are chrome. The grip is a 6" long and shaped to the characteristic blunt cigar. The reel seat is all cork with a diamond knurled ring and a spun cap with a formed pocket. The ferrule fits are fine and the rod is straight. The rod comes in a grey poplin bag with two ferrule plugs attached and an aluminum tube with brass fittings. Original Garrisons like this rarely come to market!
