For sale here is the Thomas and Thomas Fountainhead Bamboo Rod - 7'6 3/2 4wt. There were only 20 of these made in 1983 to commemorate four of the earliest rodmakers - Phillippe, Green, Mitchell, and Murphy, who began the tradition of split-bamboo rod making between 1845 and 1865. Each of their names are stamped on the intricately engraved and elongated butt cap. T&T crafted this model with a mortised grip consisting of strips of mahogany spliced between the bamboo. Other beautiful and unique features include spiked ferrules and brown intermediate wraps, exquisitely applied. Like new condition. The rod comes with the original tube and sock.
Please note: Payment is requested by bank check or direct bank transfer. If you must pay by Paypal or credit card, an extra charge of 3-4% will apply depending on where the rod will be shipped.
