Marc Aroner – Spring Creek 5wt.
This is a Marc Aroner Spring Creek 7' 6" three-piece, two-tip for a 5-weight line weighing 4.0 oz. Marc's work is impeccable. Marc built this with an even bend throughout the rod, making it a moderate action like the other weights in the Spring Creek lineup. This rod has been handled with care and treated respectfully.

This is a rare pre-fire Leonard Appalachian in all original condition. The Appalachian is an 8' 0" four-piece. In my hand, the action is a pleasant medium flexing into the lower ferrule – not what I expected from a four-piece rod.

Edwards Quadrate #40 bamboo fly rod. This is a 7’ 0” two-piece for a 5wt line weighing 3.30 oz. The ferrule is size 12 with a perfect fit. In my hand, the action is on the fast side with a strong dry-fly demeanor.
