Aroner Spring Creek 7'6' 3/2 #6/7

A Marc Aroner Spring Creek fly rod, 7'6" 3-piece, 2-tips for a #6/7 fly line. Medium action. I built this Spring Creek sometime in the late 1980s. 98% new condition. This taper was initially developed as a variant of one of my salmon rods. My friend, the late Joe Garman, was a big fan of this action and it was he who suggested that with some tweaking this would make a great western trout rod for casting bigger flies. Features a black anodized uplocking screw lock handmade in my shop. A spectacular varnished and mortised walnut spacer with great tiger-maple-like ripples in the grain. Western or fishtail-style 5 1/2" grip with light soiling.  Flawless varnished blonde cane in the 3 up node pattern. Olive wraps with unusual purple edges. Bronze high-speed steel snake guides. My swiss ferrules with a collar on the males with a recessed slant knurl.  Ferrules are oxidized black.  Olive poplin bag and polished aluminum tube with brass hardware.  This rod is perfect for bigger water and turn
