A very nice Gary Howells bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4 line. Serial #4916. The rod weighs 3.2 ounces on my scale. Mint condition with the original paper on the grip. Medium action. The cane is a medium to dark wheatstraw oven temper with two opposed nodes. It is a marvel that Gary could put out as many rods as he did with this kind of superior varnish finish - just superb. #8 carbide stripper and chrome guides and tip tops. Brown main wraps with yellow edges. The rod is pin straight. The grip is 6" long and turned to a western profile. The seat is mortised cork with a polished aluminum slide band and a formed all-aluminum pocket cap. The rod packs into a red cloth bag and a gray frost coated tube with Gary's data sticker affixed to it. You don't find many rods like this with paper still on the grip. A beauty.
