A nice Thomas and Thomas Paradigm fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, built for a #5. Weighs 4.3 ounces. Serial #3008. Impregnated model. Good used condition with the grip slightly ridged from cleaning. Medium full flexing action. Dark wheat straw oven temper cane leaving the three up node pattern nodes slightly darker than the surrounding cane. The wraps are light yellow with brown and black edges at the keeper and back edges at the ferrules and tip tops. Carbide stripper and black snake guides. The ferrules are a collared swiss style, oxidized black and lack the later small logo stamp on the female. There is a slight amount of brassing to the edges of the ferrules and the cap and ring hardware. The grip is 5 1/2" long and styled in a blunt cigar with the maximum diameter at the boundary of the third and fourth cork from the top. The reel seat is a flatted walnut with a nice coat of varnish and a few foot impressions from the slide band. The cap is roller died with "Thomas and Thomas, Makers", however it is not in a cartouche. Packs in a tan poplin bag with a stiffener. Aluminum rod tube with a brass collar and top.

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.
