Don Schroeder Fly Rod 8'6" 2/2 #5 9' but I have come acrossA nice Don Schroeder fly rod, 8'6", 2 Piece, 2 tip, built for a #5 line. Serial number 54613. Weighs 5. 1 ounces. Fast DF action. Near mint, lightly used condition. The grip is clean with just the tiniest hint of hand soiling, the rod is straight and the ferrule fits are good. The only sign of use is some light wear to the inside of the guides. Lightly flamed cane in a two opposed node pattern, laid out in a spiral pattern. The wraps are dark maroon
