A nice Uslan bamboo fly rod, 8′, 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #6 line. Pentagonal design. This rod was restored by Sam Carlson in 1997. Fast DF action. Blonde cane with brown main wraps and bronze snake guides. The Super Z style ferrules are oxidized. The 6 1/4″ long medium cigar grip is clean as a whistle, having been replaced by Sam. The reel seat is a down-lock aluminum FE Thomas screwlock with a nickel silver pocket cap. The spacer is Pakka wood (artificial). As with all Sams work, the varnish is exceptional. The rod comes in a blue cloth bag and a brushed aluminum tube.
