Thomas and Thomas Midge Bamboo Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #4 [SALE PENDING]

1946


A nice Thomas and Thomas Midge model bamboo fly rod, 9', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #4 line. Serial #2645. Used but very good condition. A very rare T&T model and a surprisingly great feeling rod for its length. Fine tipped and one of the faster rods in the T&T lineup. The rod weighs 5.6 ounces on my scale. Tan colored oven tempered cane done in a three up node pattern. Superb varnish. Light tan color wraps with black edges. Carbide stripper and black stainless snake guides. Oxidized swiss style ferrules with a collar on the males. The ferrule fits are excellent and the rod is straight. The grip is 7" long with a hidden pocket cap and turned to a medium cigar profile. The reel seat is an aluminum upwlocking screwlock with a varnished mortised walnut spacer. "Thomas and Thomas, Makers" is stamped on the slide. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag with a stiffener. The polished aluminum tube has a brass collar and top. A very rare T&T indeed!

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.
