A nice Gary Howells bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #4625 dating it to 1980. 4.1 oz. Medium to medium-slow action. Used but well cared for condition. There is some faint hand soiling to the grip and some small cosmetic casting cracks to the ferrule wraps. The rod is nice and straight. Light chestnut oven temper cane with a 3-up node pattern. The main wraps are brown with yellow edges. SRMC carbide stripper and chrome snakes. Excellent varnish. The ferrules have the characteristic overwrap. The grip is 6" long and shaped to a Western profile with a hidden pocket cap. The seat is polished aluminum up-lock screw lock over a nicely varnished wood spacer. The rod comes in a maroon cloth bag and an aluminum rod tube with Gary’s data sticker in 100% original condition.

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.
