RD Taylor Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #4 7'11" Aluminum tube and brass top

Aluminum tube and brass top of the earlier style

two-tip configuration for a #6 weight

Talk about a rod with a lineage

Very dark flame cane with lighter nodes

By my feel it should cast a #9 or #10 weight line

RD Taylor Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #4 7'11" Aluminum tube and brass topA 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.
