Thomas and Thomas Salmon XL Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 2/2 #7 [SALE PENDING]

2577


A very nice Thomas & Thomas Salmon XL model bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #7 line.  Serial #3244. The rod weighs 6.4 ounces on my scale. Mint condition. Medium action. The rod is impregnated and buffed to a high shine. Three-up node pattern with oven-tempered cane. Tan-colored main wraps with light brown edges and an extra band of black at the keeper and ferrules. The brown edge is double wrapped at the ferrules, giving it an almost black color. There are two carbide strippers on the butt and black snakes as well as carbide tip tops. The ferrules are T&T's own swiss style with a collar on the male and are oxidized.  A large swell leads the eye onto the generously proportioned 7" long grip that is styled to a Western profile with a hidden pocket cap for the uplocking screw lock. The seat spacer is varnished and mortised walnut. The barrel, nut, and slide are aluminum. The slide is stamped “Thomas & Thomas, Makers” in an oval cartouche. A ferrule is machined into the reel seat to accept the fighting butt, which is stored in a compartment in the bottom of the tube. The rod packs into a blue light brown cloth bag, and the tube is polished aluminum with brass fixtures at both ends.

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.

Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
