For sale here is a scarce Hoagy Carmichael Model 209E bamboo rod -- 7'9" 2/2 for a 5 weight line. Hoagy only made a little over 100 rods in his rod-buliding career and this has to rank up there with his finest. Progressive medium fast action. Nickel silver cap and beautiful double knurl patterned ring over a cork reel seat. This rod remains in excellent++ condition with only slight soiling of the grip, which I can clean upon request before shipping. All sections are straight and full-length with no prior repairs and none needed. Varnish remains in amazing condition. No issues. Original bag, tube and ferrule plug.

I also have some of Mr. Carmichael's books for sale here.
