Gary Howells Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #6
$ 3,750
929
A very nice Gary Howells bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-pieces, 2-tips, built for a #6 line. Serial #4650 with a build date of December 1980. 4.4 ounces. Mint unused condition, with the plastic still on the grip. Medium fast action, and it has always felt to me like many of the Howells 6-weight rods are quicker than the #4's and #5's. Oven tempered cane that is dark wheat straw in color and done in a three up node pattern configuration. Carbide stripper and chrome snake guides. The main wraps are brown with gold-yellow edges and one purple-red band at the keeper. Superb varnish. The grip is 6" long and shaped to a western style grip. As mentioned, both paper and plastic are still on the grip. Nicely varnished Zebra wood spacer and an aluminum uplocking screwlock. Comes in the original red cloth bag and the aluminum tube, which are in perfect condition. The Howells data sticker is on the tube and intact. This rod is 41 years old but looks as though it was shipped from the shop yesterday!

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.
