Gold Mongrel Salmon Fly by Charles Krom 8'3" 5 1/2" half wells cork

5 1/2" half wells cork grip

All in all a very well executed package

The wraps are done in "may rose" pink silk with barely visible orange edges

The reel seat is an all cork barrel with a lightweight nickel silver pocket cap with a narrow ring set off from the grip by a knurled nickel silver cork check

The owner came by this rod by winning a Cast-A-Winston contest some years ago – he ended up trading a number of the graphite prize rods for this excellent bamboo piece
