A Ted Simroe 348-7 Special bamboo fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #7 line. Special model. Impregnated cane. The rod weighs 5.3 ounces on my scale. Mint or lawn cast condition. The rod action is medium fast and the rod is straight and ferrule fits are good. Wheatstraw cane done in a three up node pattern. The main wraps are light olive with black edges. The stripping guide is a #10 SRMC carbide and the snake guides and tip tops are chrome. The ferrules are polished super Z style. The grip is 7" long and shaped to a modified half wells profile with a hidden pocket cap for the uplocking screwlock. The butternut insert matches the cane color nicely. The rod packs in a blue cloth bag and a six sided wood rod tube that appears to be oak with a walnut top and bottom held closed with a leather strap.
