A nice Thomas and Thomas Montana model bamboo fly rod, 8'6" 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #6 line. Serial #5715. The rod weighs 6.5 ounces on my scale. Impregnated model. Lawn cast only. The action is on the faster side of medium. Built in a three up node pattern with mirrored tips. Flamed cane. There is a tiny cosmetic casting crack at the wrap on the butt female, but nowhere else. Light tan main wraps with brown edges, dark brown at the keeper and ferrules. Chrome snake guides and an SRMC carbide stripper and black tip tops. The swiss ferrules retain 100% of their original oxidation. The grip is 6 1/2" long and turned to a western profile with a hidden pocket cap for the all nickel silver uplocking screwlock. The spacer is curly maple. "Thomas and Thomas, Makers" is stamped on the slide. The rod packs into a cloth bag with stiffener and black crackle paint tube with brass hardware.
