Mike Spittler Quad Bamboo Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #5 8'6" mostly evidenced by slight wearA nice Mike Spittler hollowbuilt quad bamboo fly rod, 9', 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #285. The rod weighs 5. 6 ounces on my scale. Excellent original condition with modest use. There are some cosmetic casting cracks to the ferrule wraps and light chipping to the varnish along with a little oxidation to the ferrules. Pretty minor. Medium action, edging toward medium slow. Flamed cane with lighter nodes done in a spiral pattern. Red
