A Lyle Dickerson 7613 model bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 or #6. 4.1 oz. "Wm Muer 1954" is inscribed on the butt. Nice overall condition with some casting cracks at the ferrule wraps and some brassing to the inner snake guides but nothing substantial. Fast D.F. type action. Wheat straw color cane with three-up node pattern on the butt and one tip and two opposed on the other — possibly a later replacement. The varnish is good. The wraps are brown with black edges on all with an extra set of small wraps at 16, 17, 18, and 19 inches on the butt. Smallish white agate for the stripping guide. High arch HSS black snake guides. The step ferrules are oxidized and pinned. The grip is 6" long and styled to a blunt cigar profile. The grip has been cleaned by sanding. The downlock aluminum screw-lock has a few micro-scratches and dings and the pin in the barrel has been driven in a wee bit too hard. The wood spacer is either light walnut or butternut. The pocket cap is German silver. The bag and tube are original. The tube has a bill of sale from Len Codella (it lists this as being for a #3 line but that's not correct). These 7613 models are very scarce indeed!
