Ron Kusse Performance Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #6 9' Inside are a number ofA Ron Kusse "Performance" model bamboo fly rod, 8', 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #6 line. The rod weighs 4. 7 ounces on my scale (the weight listed on Ron's hang tag states it as 3 3 4 ounces). Near mint condition, and probably used a half dozen times or so judging by the ring marks on the seat. There is just the tiniest hint of casting cracks at the ferrule wraps and one tiny spot of brassing on the ferrule welt. Very nice condition overall.
