Dickerson Model 901812 Bamboo Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #6/7A nice Lyle Dickerson model 901812 bamboo fly rod, 9', 3 piece, 2 tip, built for what feels to me like a #6 or #7 line. The rod weighs 5. 5 ounces on my scale. Fast action. The original owner's name is inscribed on the rod. Blonde cane done in a three up node pattern. Light brown wraps with black edges. Perfection stripping guide with black snakes. The step ferrules are oxidized with some brassing and chips to the oxidation. The ferrule fits are tight
