Thomas and Thomas Sextant Bamboo Fly Rod 8'5" 2/2 #10

3035


A very nice Thomas and Thomas Sextant bamboo fly rod, 8'5", 2-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #10 line. This is T&T's saltwater bamboo model. Serial #5856. The rod weighs 7.4 ounces on my scale. Mint condition. Very fast, powerful action. Light flamed cane with tiger striping and three up nodes. The rod is impregnated with a very high shine polish. The main wraps are green with garnet at the ferrules and garnet and black at the keeper. Black, yellow, black, and green at the female ferrule. The Swiss style ferrules have a collar on the male and are polished bright. The grip is 7" long, composed of 1/4" corks and turned to a full wells profile with a hidden pocket cap. The aluminum uplocking screw lock features a double locking nut and a milled port on the slide. The slide is stamped "Thomas + Thomas, Makers." A 2 1/4" cork fixed fighting butt is attached at the bottom. The rod comes with a nicely-turned nickel silver and cork ferrule plug and a tin of ferrule wax. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and a black crackle paint tube with a brass collar, top, and bottom.

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.

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).
