A nice Fred Kretchman bamboo fly rod, 6'6", 3-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #3 line. Serial #00-66-04. The rod weighs 3 ounces on my scale. Mint condition. Nice medium fast action that is still semi full flexing and which benefits the action of a short rod. Light flame cane in a three up pattern in the butt. The wraps are brown with yellow edges and an extra band of red at the keeper and the ferrules. The stripping guide is a red agate in an oxidized frame. The snake guides are black. The step ferrules are oxidized black as well. The 5 1/2" long grip is shaped to a medium cigar profile. The grip still has heat shrink plastic on it. The reel seat is an oxidized cap and ring over a mortised and varnished walnut spacer. The cap has "FD Kretchman Rod Co" etched into it along with a casting rod design. The rod comes with ferrule plugs and packs into a light cloth bag and a black anodized rod tube with brass fittings.
