Versatile George Maurer "eagle Creek" Bamboo Fly Rod 7'3" 2/2 #4/5 Series [rj2fDui7]

A George Maurer / Sweetwater Rods "Eagle Creek" model bamboo fly rod, 7'3", 2-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #4 or #5 line. Inked "2007-02". The rod weighs 3.8 ounces on my scale. Fast DF action. Flamed cane done in a three up node pattern. Swelled butt. Amber main wraps with cinnamon edges at the keeper. #5 SRMC stripping guide with bronzed snakes. Very light varnish coat. The ferrules are swiss style and oxidized. The cork grip is 6" long and turned to a half wells profile. The reel seat is a mortised and stabilized wood spacer under an oxidized cap and ring. The rod comes from the Maurer family after George's passing (as noted in the accompanying paperwork). The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and brushed aluminum tube with brass fittings.
