Aroner Spring Creek Special Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #4 9'6" The ferrule fit is goodAn Aroner Spring Creek Special fly rod, 7'6" 3 piece 2 tip rod built for a #4 line. Mint, uncast condition. This rod appears to be almost untouched since it left the shop 15 years ago. The Special model is wrapped with olive main wraps, brown olive intermediates, and signature wraps that are a mixture of olive and brown olive. 3 up node pattern construction with all nodes carefully pressed with the technique that I learned originally from Sam Carlson.
