Tim Abbott Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5
$ 2,750
2917
A Tim Abbott bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Medium-fast action. No serial number. 3.1 ounces on my scale. A 2020 date is inked on the rod shaft. Lawn cast condition. The cane is a light wheatstraw color and the nodes are two opposed in a spiral pattern. The nodes are pressed and very small. The main wraps are red with small black edges and all black at the ferrule. Red agate stripper and the snake guides are oxidized and very light wire. The step ferrules are truncated and oxidized with a short collar (please note, both tips are cocked off to the right several degrees near at the ferrule and I would recommend contacting the maker to see about straightening them). The grip is 6” long and composed of 1/4” corks. The grip has a western profile that's heavily weighted to the front third. The reel seat is spalted maple and appears to have been stabilized. The seat is mortised, and the cap and ring are oxidized with the ring having an unusual feature in that it has been ventilated. The rod packs into a green tie-dye cloth bag (one of the tip pockets has an opening at the bottom which I'd recommend fixing) and an aluminum tube with brass fittings.

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.
