Aroner Hunt Pattern Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #6

Aroner Hunt Pattern Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #6An excellent Marc Aroner Hunt Pattern Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 3 piece, 2 tip built for a #6 line. Fast D. F. action. I can't find any sign that this rod has been used, or even lawn cast. Perfect original condition. Medium dark flamed rod shafts. May rose silks, slim cigar grip, Koa mortised slide band seat. Cap and ring design and all hardware is oxidized. "Aroner, maker" stamped on butt cap. Swiss ferrules with collar, slant knurl and trim marks on the

Leather cap with decorative stitching ring and star stamped in middle

Although not labeled I believe it is a hair wing version of the venerable Jock Scott

#6" (as well as what appears to be "2h5cm" though it's difficult to make out the script)

The large (12 corks) 6" grip is deeply sculpted to a hand-fitting fish-tail shape

I'm not sure what more you can say about this reel other than that it is one of the finest reels made today

The grip is Western style (note: there is a chip out of the cork missing at the heel of the grip)

Well done dip over re-finish
