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 Payne Parabolic taper bamboo rod from ninja builder Mark Edmonds. 7' 9" 3/2 for a 5/6wt, weighing 4.50 oz. This rod features resorcinol glue lines indicative of the pre-WWII golden era. The sliding band and cap...
In all original condition. In my hand, the action is on the fast side of medium-fast with a very decisive dry fly demeanor from the ferrule and above. A great point and shoot taper that is delightful.
