Edwards Quadrate Salmon Fly Rod 9'6" 3/2 #8

Edwards Quadrate Salmon Fly Rod 9'6" 3/2 #8A nice Edwards Quad salmon rod, 9'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for what feels to me like a #8. Detachable fighting butt. Weighs 7. 7 ounces. Medium slow action. Used fair condition, all full length but no inscription on the rod shaft. The guide wraps look original but the female wraps are not. It is possible that the varnish has been sanded out and re dipped as there are a lot of varnish runs around the wraps, but I can't say definitively. The butt

A phenomenal one-of-a-kind reel from the late Joe Janciuras of Rochester

while the other male is still wrapped

Still a very nice and tight Dingley Perfect trout reel that should see many more years on the stream

The rod is in excellent plus condition with original bag and tube

Good ferrule fit

25" and a spool width of

in the early part of the Tom Maxwell era manufacture date

The guide wraps are clear with fine red edging at the ferrules and stripping guide and one red wrap in the middle of each guide wrap

Four pages of adverts which include Walbran

This rod has delicate action tips and would be excellent for medium-to-small stream dry fly fishing

2 oz and measures 2 7/8" diameter

A very nice reel with loads of capacity
