A nice Thomas and Thomas Custom Paradigm bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #3146. 4 ounces. Medium fast action. Impregnated model. Used but very good condition with one tiny flaw - the tag end of the black edge at the keeper has come loose for about 1/32" of its length. The node pattern is three up and the cane color is a few shades darker than wheatstraw. The original owner's name is inked on the rod. Maroon wraps with a black edge at the keeper, ferrules, and tip-tops. Chrome guides and tip tops. The grip is 6" long with a hidden pocket cap for the unusual uplocking slide band seat. The walnut spacer has been hand mortised and a nickel silver band is inset below the mortise with a "Thomas and Thomas, Makers" roller die stamp on it. A standard T&T slide ring holds the bottom of the reel foot. A walnut button holds everything in place. The rod packs into a cloth bag stiffener and aluminum tube with brass hardware.
