A 7' Darryl Whitehead 2 piece

Mike Spittler Quad Fluted Hollowbuilt Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #4 5 Weight This is an impregnated rodA superb M. K. Spittler Co. serial #488, 9' 3 2 quad for a #4 line. Boasts a bright uplocking screwlock with delrin button over what appears to be a cedar spacer. Another "lawn cast" specimen. The rod has oxidized square to round ferrules, an agate stripping guide, and chrome tip tops and guides. This rod also exhibits the square delrin check that is hallmark of Sam Carlson's influence. Lovely medium flame cane with garnet red wraps and black edges.
