Gary Howells Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #5
$ 3,750
928
A very nice Gary Howells bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-pieces, 2-tips, built for a #5 line. Serial #4538 (which I believe puts the manufacture date at 1979). 3.75 ounces listed weight though my scale has it closer to 4.1. Medium speed semi full flexing action. The rod is mint, with plastic and tape still on the grip. The cane is oven tempered and dark wheat straw in color, done in a three up node configuration. Carbide stripper and chrome snake guides and tip tops, wrapped brown with gold edges and one band of red at the keeper. The grip is 6" long and done in a western profile, with the original plastic still on it, as mentioned. The reel seat is an uplocking screw lock with a finely varnished zebra wood spacer. The rod packs in the original red cloth bag and the aluminum tube is mint with the Howells data sticker on it.

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
