A Thomas and Thomas "Classic Pro Salmon" bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 3-piece, 2-tip. I can't tell what line weight this might have been built for as it's not listed and I could not put the rod together as the ferrules are fairly corroded and need a good cleaning. Serial #2210 and built in 1974. 7.4 ounces. Fair condition with some rewraps with varnish penetration and some brush coating of sections of the rod. This is a very early T&T made from an assortment of parts found in the Sewell Dunton shop after the Toms bought Sewell out. The cane is light flamed with random node spacing. The male ferrules are drawn seamless step down. The wraps are brown with a red band in the middle at the keeper and ferrules and at the carbide tip tops. The main wraps are pale yellow with black snake guides. The original owner's name is inked on the butt shaft and the date of '74. The grip has been cleaned and shows some ridging. It is shaped to a western profile and is 8" long. The reel seat is an uplock with a hidden pocket cap and a varnished walnut spacer. The nickel silver screwlock has a unitary pocket cap and is from Montague. A small cork button hides a ferrule under the seat to accept the 5" long fighting butt with a large red rubber button at its bottom. There is no rod tube but the rod packs into a cloth outer bag (it has a small rip in it).
