Dickerson Model 8015 Special Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #6

Dickerson Model 8015 Special Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #6A Lyle Dickerson model 8015 Special bamboo fly rod, 8', 2 piece, 2 tips, and built for what feels to me like a #6 (most of the 8015 models I've handled would match well with a #5 but I'd try a #6 or perhaps even a #7 with this rod the tips clock in at around . 095" over varnish). "Dickerson 8015 Special" inked on the shaft, along with the original owner's name and the year of manufacture (1952). The rod weighs 4. 7 ounces on my scale. Authoritative

Bob Summers re-wrote the script on the rod since the original script by Paul Young had faded due to contact with bug spray
