Paul Young Midge Bamboo Fly Rod 6'3" 2/2 #4 6'4" Lemke nickel silver down-locking reelA very nice Paul Young "Midge" model bamboo fly rod, 6'3", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for what feels like a #4. Serial #4415. Made in the late 1960's during the Bob Summers era. The rod weighs 2. 2 ounces on my scale. Fully original condition and has seen very light use with no cracking at the ferrules wraps, a tiny bit of wear to the snake guides, and some light riding and soiling to the grip. That's about it, the rod is otherwise in very good shape.
