Edwards Quad 54 Bamboo Fly Rod 8’6" 3/2 #7/8

Edwards Quad 54 Bamboo Fly Rod 8’6" 3/2 #7/8An Edwards Quadrate model 54 fly rod, 8'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for what feels to me like a #7 or #8. Fast DF action. The rod weighs 5 3 4 ounces on my scale. Excellent original condition for its age with a hint of bag imprint on the tips. Some varnish loss around the base of the snake guides due to the guides lifting a bit likely on a heavy fish. Medium flamed cane with brown main wraps with yellow edges. 3x3 yellow and brown signature wraps

Cap has some oxidation missing from ridge

96" is stamped on the oil port cover

The nut has 2 heavy knurls running in opposite directions and has a smooth turning core of Delrin to ensure no binding conditions occur

Serial #70
