FE Thomas Salmon Rod 9'6" 3/2 #9

175


A nice FE Thomas Browntone fly rod, 9'6" 3-piece, 2-tip built for what I suspect is a #9 line. Medium action. F59 stamped on the pocket cap. 1940's vintage and very good condition for its age. The varnish is in very good condition with a few light bag impressions and chips. Very straight and a good ferrule fit. Ferrules and pocket cap are oxidized. The cane is brown toned. The heavy wire reverse twist snake guides are wrapped brown. The usual set of Thomas windaways are present and the check and keeper are oxidized. The grip is 7" 14-cork and deeply sculpted in the western style. It shows typical use discoloration. Downlocking screw lock with pocket cap. The spacer is of varnished Spanish cedar. The pocket cap is stamped "Thomas, Special, Bangor, Me" and F59. The reel seat has a pullout plug of ferruled Spanish cedar. The bag has a provision for a fighting butt but alas, it is missing. Blue Thomas bag and aluminum tube with a shield-shaped "Thomas rod" decal.

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).
