The Salmon Fly Centenary Edition by George M. Kelson Gary Howells All in all

All in all

This one comes with an Arnie Mason case and a velvet bag

The owner came by this rod by winning a Cast-A-Winston contest some years ago – he ended up trading a number of the graphite prize rods for this excellent bamboo piece

with the bottom 1/4 inch broken off (does not affect function)

This is a curious one
