A very nice example

The box is in new and unused condition though the previous owner did neatly stock and label the hook keeper with common sized trout hooks

Also comes with an unused spare spool

with a 2 3/4" outside diameter and measuring 1 1/8" across

Short Carlson rods rarely come to market

Carpenter is a recognized master of the Catskill school of rod building

The level of skill exhibited in the finish and appointments of this rod are far above that exhibited by nearly anyone else you will come across

Brown poplin rod bag with stiffener and leather pull tab

Ivory handle grasp which makes the reel even more scarce

Horseshoe latch

Super difficult to find in this condition

This is the rare first model with two pillars and rectangular nickel silver line guard
