An excellent Thomas & Thomas Paradigm fly rod, 7', 2-piece, 2-tip, built for a #4 line. Serial #3665. Weighs 3.2 oz. Semi full flexing action, but not slow. This rod is in used but well cared for condition. The grip is hand soiled, the reel seat has some small foot impressions. The oxidation on the cap and ring is about 60% of new, the rear cork check is at 0%, the front 35%, and the ferrule oxidation is a bit blotchy. The varnish is hard and the 1 hook dig on the butt does not appear to go through to the bamboo. Oven tempered cane with a three-up node pattern. Transparent wraps with light brown edges, darker brown at the ferrules. There is an extra band of black at the keeper, ferrules, and tip tops. The serial # is lettered at the base of each tip and on the butt wrap flat. There is a large swelled butt and a medium cigar grip 10 corks or 5". The reel seat is a cap and ring with a walnut spacer that has been flatted and nicely varnished. The butt cap has the "Thomas & Thomas, Makers" roller die in a cartouche. The female swiss ferrule also has a tiny T&T logo stamp in a circle cartouche. The rod packs into the original bag and brass cap tube.
