Bob Summers Midge Fly Rod 6'6" 2/2 #3/4

Bob Summers Midge Fly Rod 6'6" 2/2 #3/4A nice Bob Summers Midge fly rod, 6'6" 2 piece, 2 tips, built for a #3 or #4 line. Serial number #522005. 2. 2 ounces. This rod flexes right down to the grip but feels like it would generate excellent line speed. Near mint condition, possibly lawn cast only. Labeled "R. W. Summers Co Midge, 6'6" #3 to 4 line". Dark cane with two opposed node pattern. Excellent varnish. Main wraps are light transparent yellow, no edges. Oxidized step ferrules, carbide

Nicely oxidized hardware components with a little mark or two on the bottom of the butt cap

The half wells grip shows no use

The grip is 11 corks and is done in what I would call a Hawes style (it tapers up most of the way to the front cork check and turns down just before the end)

Comes with a selvyt reel bag in fine condition as well

very dark red 'oxblood' color

Up-locking nickel silver reel seat over a spanish cedar spacer

A nice light salmon rod from Dave Kenney

I think this would cast a #5 nicely

Fine mechanical condition overall

Excellent overall restored condition
