RD Taylor Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #4 HL Leonard Richard Wheatley swing leaf salmonA handsome rod from Bob Taylor, this one in flame colored cane and with a medium full flexing action. Marked "24 4 122" on the wrap flat, the rod has oxidized hardware and ferrules. Medium large cigar grip. Varnished walnut cap and ring seat. There is some wear to oxidation at the bottom of cap (pictured) and some general edge wear or brassing at other places. Varnish is excellent overall except for one small scuff adjacent to lettering on the butt.
