THIEF

This Walter Brunner "Type Amabile" rod was stolen from me. It is ~7ft 2/2 for a 3-4wt. The rod was in transit to me from from rodmaker Jeff Fultz--who had just completed a 2nd tip for the original 1 tip rod--when it was stolen out of the shipping carton. If it is fenced with the original bag, it will have a Brunner patch sewn in, but only 1 original tip divider. The other tip will not be a precise match (though close...great job Jeff!). It will doubtful be in an authentic Brunner tube, which I still have. Brunner tubes are hard to miss: either black or a sort of patinated bronze anodized aluminum tube with leather top and bottom caps. If you know the whereabouts of this rod, please contact me and / or your local authorities. Here is a picture of the rod, including the 2nd tip.

Shameless commerce division

Flyfishing for trout is my hobby. From time to time my tackle needs change, and I will occasionally post items For Sale or Wanted below. All items For Sale are subject to the basic rules of the Classic Fly Rod Forum found here. All prices listed include shipping and insurance costs in the continental United States (not HI, AK, overseas, etc.). If your preferred form of payment is PayPal, please add 4% to our agreed upon price to cover the fees incurred. I strongly prefer to send and receive tackle by Insured, Priority or Registered Priority Mail via United States Postal Service. Once I have confirmed a sale or purchase, I will provide payment and shipping details. With questions, comments, or offers, I can be reached by private message through this board, or at greenriver7043 at y a h o o dot com.
Cheers!
