Walt Carpenter Browntone Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #4/5

Walt Carpenter Browntone Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #4/5A very nice Walt Carpenter Browntone bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4 or #5 line. 3. 7 ounces on my scale. Serial #93276. Lawn cast or very very light use at most. Just the faintest start of some hand soiling to the grip. Both tips have the faintest beginning of cosmetic casting cracks to the ferrule wraps, and the high arch HSS snake guides have just a hint of brassing. The action is medium fast. Flamed cane with light nodes

much as they are today

Copper colored wraps and gold tipping

We will also be separately listing an unused spare 8/10 spool for this reel

Fixed click/pawl check with plenty of resistance

It tends to be a bit slower than most graphite allowing for the utmost finesse and precision

Minor marks exist on the rims and foot from limited fishing use

with the plastic wrapping still on the grip

Nice amount of original leading on the reel

The varnished Spanish cedar reel seat steps up to the rear cork

Narrow spool

Only made using pure Italian leather

The hanging tag has the wight as 1 7/8 oz however my scale has it as 2
