Jim Schaaf Dickerson 8014 Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #4

Jim Schaaf Dickerson 8014 Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #4A Jim Schaaf rendition of the Dickerson 8014 model bamboo fly rod, 8', 2 piece, 2 tips, and built for a #4 line. "The Dickerson 8014" and serial number "80 6 99" are lettered on the butt on successive flats. The rod weighs 4. 2 ounces on my scale. Lightly used condition with a little bit of soiling to the grip. Medium fast action. The rod is straight and the ferrule fits are good. The cane is a medium light wheatstraw and the nodes are done in a three

The tensioner works perfectly and the reel is nice and tight mechanically

The rod was made for Dr

Set up for LHW and in excellent condition

Near mint condition with just the tiniest hint of edge wear at a spot or two on the rim and some minor handling marks

zero signs of use although there are several bag guide dents in the grip from storage

stainless steel and high-quality synthetic material

Perfect spar varnish finish

The highly polished stainless steel drum combined with 2 large delrin shoes and 4 heavy duty springs give the reel exceptional smoothness to protect even the finest tippet

quick-retrieve

a rear 7-position drag

The hard rubber side plates are flawless

Medium fast action for a #5 or #6 line
