A Marc Aroner Hunt Pattern bamboo fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5. The rod weighs 4.9 ounces. Lightly used condition, one tip may have been used once, the other slightly more. Medium action. The grip shows almost no hand soiling. This is a rare rod of mine as the reel seat is all nickel silver with the slide band and pocket cap reminiscent of antique Leonard and Payne rods. Flamed cane done in a three up node pattern. Wrapped olive with red tipping and Leonard Catskill style signature wraps. The stripping guide is agate and the snakes are black high arch HSS. Superb varnish. Mirrored tips. The ferrules are swiss style with a collar on the males with an incised slant knurl and two trim marks. The ferrules retain 100% of their original oxidation. The grip is 6" long and shaped to a medium/slim cigar profile. The all nickel silver seat has been turned down to a very thin wall to save weight and mounted over a maple blank. The seat is stamped "Aroner, Maker". The brass ferrule plugs have been tied to the top of the green poplin bag. The rod tube is polished aluminum with brass fittings. The brass collar is also stamped "Aroner, Maker". An overbag protects the tube.
