Thomas and Thomas Hendrickson Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #5 7'9" then hand varnishedA nice Thomas & Thomas Hendrickson bamboo fly rod, 8', 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #3573. This model is very hard to find in a three piece configuration. The rod weighs 4. 7 ounces. Very good lightly used condition. There are no cosmetic ferrule wrap cracks that I could see and no brassing to the ferrule or oxidation on the cap and ring. There is a touch of brassing to the inner snake guides. Medium semi full flexing action.
