A nice Don Schroeder fly rod, 8'6", 2-Piece, 2-tip, built for a #5 line. Serial number 54613. Weighs 5.1 ounces. Fast DF action. Near mint, lightly used condition.

The keeper is one flat right and the lettering is two flats right. Super Z style swiss ferrules are oxidized. The rod comes with an aluminum, brass, and cork ferrule plug. The grip is 6 1/2" long full wells profile with only a tiny amount of hand soiling. The reel seat is a downlocking screw lock with both the threaded barrel and the walnut insert mortised. An aluminum cap fits on the bottom. The rod packs into a dark maroon cloth bag and a brass topped aluminum tube with the DG Schroeder data sticker.
