Kusse, Ron – 7'6" 5/6 wt. Quad

For your consideration is a Ron Kusse impregnated quad bamboo fly rod. This is a 7' 6" two-piece for a 5 or 6 weight line weighing 3.75 ounces. Ron Kusse held the position of Vice President at the Leonard Rod Company for the majority of the 1970s. The rods he built under his name reflected the defining characteristics of Eastern rod building — elegant swelled butts, refined tips, and a crisp, responsive casting feel.

This rod consists of light tempered cane complimented with caramel translucent wraps at the guides and tipped red at the ferrules. The tips are differentiated for ease of rotation with one having one wrap of red and the other two. The 5 3/8" grip is accompanied by a mortised and beautifully modeled reel seat fitted with nickel silver hardware. In my hand, the rod is on the fast side of medium-fast and is full flexing. Original owners name is written on the tag.
