FE Thomas Bamboo Fly Rod 10'6" 3/2 #8 9' The main wraps are brownAn F. E. Thomas "Special" bamboo fly rod, 10'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for what feels like a #8 line. Excellent, all original condition. The grip shows some darkening, the varnish is a little textured throughout (age, not damage), and the topmost wrap on one tip appears to have been rewrapped at an earlier point, but overall the rod is in great shape for its age and devoid of any meaningful issues. It is also nicely straight for its age. Medium
