A Marc Aroner Spring Creek model bamboo fly rod, 6'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4 line. 2.9 ounces. Mint, uncast condition. Fast DF action. Blonde oven tempered cane done in a three up node pattern configuration. Olive wraps with red edges and an extra band of green at the keeper and male ferrules. The stripper is a #8 SRMC carbide with bronze snakes. The varnish is pane-of-glass perfect. The ferrules are swiss style with a collar on the males with an inset slant knurl. They are oxidized jet black. The grip is 4 1/2" long and shaped to a slim cigar. The rear cork check is mounted on a varnished mortised koa spacer which has oxidized cap and ring hardware. The cap has my "Aroner Maker" die stamp which dates this rod to the late 1990's. All brass ferrule plug. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and a polished aluminum tube with a FE Thomas style brass bottom, cap, and top (the trim marks are split apart on the collar so that the roller die stamp can be placed at opposite sides). My two-piece rods are fairly rare and can be pretty hard to come by. It is great to see this one which is in the same pristine condition it left my shop more than two decades ago!
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.
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
