FE Thomas Fly Rod 10'6" 3/2 (Refinished by Sam Carlson)

1759


A nice FE Thomas bamboo fly rod 10'6", 3-piece, 2-tips (both of which are short). This salmon rod was refinished by Sam Carlson in 1963 and again in 1989 as noted by an inscription inked on the butt section just above the grip. One tip is 1 1/2" short and the other is 2" short. The rod weighs 9.2 ounces. The rod appears unfished since the last refinish. The rod comes with a 5" long detachable fishing butt and a neat little black tenite plug covers the fighting butt ferrule. No manufacture date. The wraps are maroon with bronze reverse twist snake guides. Polished step ferrules. The grip is 6 1/2" and shaped to a western profile, and it has some hand soiling and a hidden pocket cap for the uplocking seat. The wood spacer is unvarnished walnut and the the uplocking screw is all aluminum. The fighting butt is tenite and cork with a black rubber button. The rod packs into a cloth overbag with no tube.

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.
