FE Thomas Cane Fly Rod on EBay

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.

You're only saying that because it's a bamboo rod. If he were selling a
KPOS or a box of Fish Pimps (the best indicator on the market), you'd be
all over him like flies on ****.

So, does that make you a simile sitter as well as a net nanny?

Say what ? Let me guess, English isn't your native tongue and you'd
like an opinion on which salad dresing to use.

On a tantamounts salad, I'm just guessing here, try Thousand Island
and let us know how it works out.
