For sale here is a gorgeous Thomas & Thomas "Midge" bamboo rod -- 8' 2/2 for a 5 weight line. This is one of the hard to find varnished rods with polished aluminum tube -- the best of the best of the rods coming from T&T featured both. Rod is in mint condition having only been lawn casted. All sections are full length and straight. Up-locking reel seat with engraved sliding ring. The cigar grip is 6 1/4" long. Brilliantly crafted swelled butt section and blued hardware. Serial #2927 which dates the rod to 1976-1977. Includes original cloth bag with stiffener and un-labeled highly polished aluminum tube in amazing condition itself. The last owner had Dave Kenney make a ferrule plug which is an added bonus.
