A nice Gary Howells bamboo fly rod, 8’9”, 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for #9 line. Serial #4300. The rod weighs 5 ounces. Good overall condition with the grip showing signs of hand soiling, but the rod is pin straight. The action is medium to medium fast. Tan color over tempered cane with darker nodes in a three-up pattern. The varnish is excellent with only a few scratches and scrape marks on the butt, some micro varnish chips and a few fish scales on one of the tips. The main wraps are brown with yellow edges. The stripping guide is carbide with chrome snakes and tip tops. The tips are mirrored. The ferrule fits are good, not too tight, not too loose. The grip is 7” long and shaped to a western profile with a hidden pocket cap for an uplocking seat. The spacer is varnished quartersawn Zebrawood with an aluminum uplocking screw lock. Someone has added a ferrule plug. The rod bag is the usual red cloth and the rod packs into an aluminum tube with Gary’s data sticker in 100% original condition.

- 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.
