Ron Kusse Elf Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5

3643


A Ron Kusse “Elf” model bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #3106. 3.7 ounces. Used, though hard to tell just how much. I can see three separate reel foot impressions on the seat and a hint of grip soiling but no casting cracks at the ferrule wraps. Fast dry fly action. Matte impregnated style finish. The wraps are brown with a heavy epoxy finish. The stripper looks more like amber color glass rather than agate. Chrome snake guides and tip tops. The blank is flamed with darker patches here and there. The step ferrules are polished bright with the female having a tiny “Kusse” stamp in an oval cartouche. The grip is a 5 1/2" long cigar with a tiny Leonard style check. The cap and ring seat is polished bright and the butt cap is stamped “The Elf” in a cartouche and opposite “Ron Kusse, Maker” in a cartouche. The burl seat may be impregnated as well. The rod comes in a dark gray cloth bag with a stiffener and Ron's hang tag with data along with a brushed aluminum tube with brass accents.

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.
Other Terms
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.
