FE Thomas Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 4" 2 piece on EBay

This rod came from my father-in-law's estate. It has the original tube, no
bag, and 2 tips. The rod is straight and the wraps are good. One tip is full
length but missing the tip guide. The second tip is broken off about 5" from
the end.

The rod lacks the normal FE Thomas markings on the butt. Jack Mickievich,
noted fly-tyer, examined the rod and opined that the rod was built after
Thomas' death by his shop, using a FE Thomas-made blank, but assembled and
finished by others.

Note to Warren:

This is a perfect example of what is acceptable under the "one time"
exemption.

Out and out SPAM is NEVER acceptable.
