Gary Howells Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #3/4


An excellent piece of history here, as this was the last rod that Gary ever built. It is a 7'6" rod, 2-piece, 2-tip, and weighing in at 3 oz. Serial #6304 and feels perfect for #3/4 weight line. Mint and unfished. Lovely flawless varnish, western grip, up lock aluminum screwlock and beautifully varnished wood spacer. Brown wraps, yellow edges, chrome guides, and tip tops. Medium to slow action. This rod has never seen a line.  

Accompanying this rod is a letter from Robert Bolt which attests that this rod is the last rod ever made by Gary (Robert, of course, purchased the Howells shop which includes all of Gary's records). Maroon bag, aluminum tube with proper Howells sticker, aluminum and cork ferrule plug. 

A fantastic piece of history here, and you won't find a better museum-quality Howells for your collection.

Shipping Information
We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
Other Terms
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
