A nice Jim Schaaf "Browntone" model fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #4 line. Serial #75-6-87. 3.6 ounces. Mint or near mint condition. Full flexing but strong action, a rare rod from a high quality maker. Moderately dark flame-treated cane. According to the owner, this was the last hand-planed rod that Jim made before he acquired the Dickerson beveler. Top shelf varnish. The main wraps are a light copper with brown edges throughout. Agate stripper and black snake guides. The step ferrules are polished bright, the fits are perfect, and the rod is nice and straight. The grip is 5" long in a deeply sculpted half wells profile. The cork reel seat is flatted with a nickel silver cap and ring. The cap is stamped "James Schaaf, Maker". The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and a brushed aluminum tube with brass fittings and Jim's data sticker on the tube.

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. 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.

Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
