Thomas and Thomas Traditionalist Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #6

3356


A Thomas & Thomas Traditionalist model bamboo fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #6 line. Serial #4149. The rod weighs 5.9 ounces on my scale (not the 4 1/2 ounces listed on the data sticker). Very powerful medium-fast 6 weight. Used but well cared for condition. It has some grip soiling, some scratches, and a small impression or two on the cedar seat. It has just the start of some cosmetic cracks at the ferrule wraps, and a small amount of wear to the inner snake guides. The ferrule fits are fine and the rod is still factory straight. Flamed cane with three-up node pattern and mirrored tips. The wraps are very light almost clear tan with brown edges on all wraps and an extra edge of black at the keeper, ferrules, and tip tops. The stripper is an SRMC carbide and the snake guides are black. The swiss-style ferrules have a collar and are oxidized. The 6" cork grip is styled to a western with a hidden pocket cap. The reel seat is nickel silver uplocking screw lock. The slide is independent of the nut and is stamped “Thomas & Thomas Makers.” The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and aluminum tube with brass fixtures.

Shipping Information

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.
