A nice Thomas and Thomas Paradigm bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #3007. Lawn cast only condition. Impregnated model. Medium fast semi full flexing action. Mirrored tips. Typical large T&T swell with oven tempered cane with darker nodes in a three up node pattern. Honey color main wraps with light brown edges. Carbide stripper and black snake guides. The swiss ferrules are oxidized and retain 99% of their original color. The males have a collar. The ferrule fit is good as new and the rod is factory straight. The grip is 5 1/2" long and shaped to a large cigar profile, tapering down to the swell at the front. The seat features a perfectly varnished walnut spacer that's flatted for the reel foot, with cap and ring hardware. The cap has the "Thomas and Thomas, Makers" stamp and retains 100% of the oxidation, however the clear coating has flaked off in a few spots. The bag is a light tan poplin with a stiffener and the original aluminum and brass tube with the T&T "care of your rod" card.
