Gary Howells Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #5
$ 2,950
2282
A nice Gary Howells bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #4708, dating this to 1981. The rod weighs 4 ounces on my scale. Used but good condition, with some light soiling to the grip and some cosmetic casting cracks to the ferrule wraps. Medium action. Excellent varnish. Three up node pattern with oven tempered cane. The main wraps are color preserved brown with yellow edges. SRMC carbide stripper and chrome snakes and tip tops. The grip is 6" log and shaped to a western profile with a hidden pocket cap for the uplocking aluminum reel seat. The rod packs into a red cloth bag and a gray frost coat tube 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.
