Mechanically the reel is in excellent condition with a flawless drag

the 476 boxes way above its weight

Excellent operating condition with an external patina unlike any other

Ron Kusse Elf Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5 5' Mechanically the reel is inA Ron Kusse Elf model bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #3106. 3. 7 ounces. Used, though hard to tell just how much. I can see three separate reel foot impressions on the seat and a hint of grip soiling but no casting cracks at the ferrule wraps. Fast dry fly action. Matte impregnated style finish. The wraps are brown with a heavy epoxy finish. The stripper looks more like amber color glass rather than agate. Chrome
