Marc Aroner Hunt Pattern Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #9

A Marc Aroner Hunt pattern salmon rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #9 line. 5.5 ounces. Lightly used condition. Fast action. No hand soiling to the grip, some minor ferrule wrap cracking and a few glancing strikes from a hook (none penetrating to the cane), one on the mid, one on the tip, and a few small chips to the varnish on the mid female. Glass smooth varnish with no dust spots. The nodes are done in a three up pattern and tips are mirrored with a medium flame treatment. The main wraps are olive with red edges. The carbide stripper is a #10 the HSS snake guides are black. The step ferrules are oxidized jet black and predate the "pot belly" style I later adopted. I have added my modern brass & cork ferrule plugs. The western-style grip is 6" long with a hidden pocket cap. The uplock screw lock has a mortised birdseye seat with a very high density of eyes (I haven't been able to find wood like that for 30 years). This earlier version of the screw lock features black matt
