A nice Thomas and Thomas Paradigm model bamboo fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial number 3719. The rod weighs 5.4 ounces on my scale. Mint condition with no sign of even having been lawn cast. Varnished model. The action is near full flexing and a whisker to the slower side of medium. Wheatstraw color oven tempered cane done in a three up node pattern configuration. Very light tan main wraps with brown edges and dark brown at the ferrules. Carbide stripper and black snake guides. The varnish, as with all T&T rods, is absolutely superb. The oxidized swiss style ferrules have a collar on the males. Mirrored tips. The cork grip is 6" long and turned to a Western profile with a hidden pocket cap under the heel of the grip. The spacer is a mortised varnished walnut. The screwlock is nickel silver with a nickel silver slide and cap. The slide is stamped "Thomas and Thomas, Makers". The rod packs into a brown cloth bag with a stiffener and the T&T pull tab, as well as a polished aluminum tube with brass fittings.
