Ron Kusse Elfin Bamboo Fly Rod 6'3" 2/2 #4 6 Weight A perfect small stream rod

A perfect small stream rod from the golden age of bamboo

One of the pads remains and is split in half

For sale here is a 3" caged spool

Very nice condition throughout with no structural issues that I could find except for a little curve to both ends of the reel foot

The oxidation on one tip section doesn't exactly match the other tip and the butt section

Ron Kusse Elfin Bamboo Fly Rod 6'3" 2/2 #4 6 Weight A perfect small stream rodA Ron Kusse Elfin model bamboo fly rod, 6'3", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4 line. Serial 0622. The rod weighs 2. 8 ounces on my scale (the hang tag lists it as 1 7 8). The rod is in mint and uncast condition. It appears to be an impregnated model. Fast action. Flamed cane with darker mottling. The wraps are brown with some build up of epoxy on the wraps. Black stripper, snakes, and tip tops. The step ferrules are oxidized and have a tiny "Kusse"
