Aroner Spinoza 8'3/2 #4 Serial No. 12

Aroner Spinoza 8'3/2 #4 Serial No. 12This is the limited edition rod (limited to 15) that inspired the name of our company. The complete package includes the rod, an Arnie Mason leather tube, and a 12th edition copy of John Taintor Foote's classic work "The Wedding Gift". First, a bit of background. While visiting a friend's house in the late 1990's I was given a copy of "The Wedding Gift" for bedtime reading. This amusing and short book related the misadventures of a dry fly obsessed
