A nice George Guba "Dark Stone Special" fly rod, 6', 2-piece, 2-tips, built for a #3 or #4. Weighs 2.4 ounces. Looks to be mint condition. Delicate medium action. The cane is flamed with light colored nodes in a three up node pattern. The wraps are red and color preserved. Unfortunately many of the wraps have blistering from the application of heat during the straightening process. Black edges at the keeper. Carbide stripper and snake brand guides. Swiss-style ferrules are polished bright as are the cap and ring seat. The grip is 4 1/2" long and a medium cigar. The mortised seat is oil finished with a lovely piece of smokey walnut. One tip has a bit of twist at the top but not enough to affect casting. The rod is packed in a heavy tan cloth bag with a leather pull tab. The tube is frost coated aluminum with a brass collar, top, and bottom.
