A nice Ron Kusse quad fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tips, built for a #4 or #5 line. Fast dry fly action. The hang tag lists this rod as 3 5/8 ounces and as serial number Q9702. Excellent condition overall, appears to me to be very lightly used. Lovely medium flamed cane in a two opposed node pattern construction. Superb varnish. Red wraps with black tipping at the grip, ferrules, and tip-tops. Belt sanded nodes. The rod is straight and the ferrule fits are excellent. Oxidized step ferrules with a faint "Kusse" stamped in a cartouche on the female below the welt. Slim cigar grip 5 1/2" in length and 11 corks long, which tapers to a light quad form as it approaches the blank. Spanish cedar spacer which forms directly to the rear of the grip without a cork check. Clean well-cared-for grip with just a tiny bit of ridging as it tapers at the very front. Cap and ring seat hardware which shows some signs of generalized brassing. "Ron Kusse, Maker" is stamped in a cartouche. The rod comes packed in a yellow poplin with a hang tag and a black crackle paint tube with brass hardware.
