Dana Gray Carlson "Four" Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #4 9'9" Chestnut brown at the windingAn excellent Dana Gray "Carlson Four" model bamboo fly rod, 7', 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for what feels to me like a #4. Quad design. Fast dry fly action. The rod appears to be in near mint condition with just the slightest trace of grip soiling. The rod is nice and straight. Medium color cane done in a spiral node pattern. The varnish is excellent. "Carlson Four" inked on the butt along with "143 472". Wrapped red with black tipping at the grip,
