The Constable Wallop Brook 7’6” #5-weight fly rod.
2-piece, staggered ferrule. Built by Edward Barder c1993 on Constable cane. In exceptional condition.
I’m a great fan of this model. It casts exceedingly accurately, is robust and compact. A tip-top rod for wading and for dealing with good sized fish in wilder places. Very light, robust and simply a tremendous fishing rod.
