A Ron Kusse Elfin model bamboo fly rod, 6'3", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4 line. Serial 0622. The rod weighs 2.8 ounces on my scale (the hang tag lists it as 1 7/8). The rod is in mint and uncast condition. It appears to be an impregnated model. Fast action. Flamed cane with darker mottling. The wraps are brown with some build up of epoxy on the wraps. Black stripper, snakes, and tip tops. The step ferrules are oxidized and have a tiny "Kusse" stamp in an oval cartouche. The grip is 5" long and shaped to a medium cigar profile, and has a plastic protective covering over it. The quarter sawn walnut seat is flatted for the oxidized cap and ring. The cap has two die stamps in cartouche - "the Elfin" and "Ron Kusse, Maker". The seat has a lip to meet the cork grip. The rod comes in a grey cloth bag with a stiffener and hang tag, and a black crackle painted tube with brass hardware.
