Thomas and Thomas Sextant Bamboo Fly Rod 8'3" 2/2 #9

3038


A nice Thomas and Thomas Sextant bamboo fly rod, 8'3", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #9 line. Ser #5811. The rod weighs 7.3 ounces on my scale. Mint Condition. This rod was designed for saltwater use, and has a fast, strong action. Flamed cane with a touch of tiger striping. Impregnated with a very high polish. The main wraps are green with black edges, and brown wraps at the ferrules. The first three guides going across to the bottom of the tip are ceramic shock rings, with the balance being very wide and high arch chrome. The nickel silver ferrules are swiss style with a collar, and the ferrules and front cork check are oxidized jet black. The grip is 7" long and composed of 1/4" corks, and shaped to a full wells profile with a hidden pocket cap. The uplock screwlock seat features an aluminum green frost coated spacer and both the slide and hidden pocket cap are inletted. The seat features a double locking nut and a 1 1/2" fixed fighting butt rounds out the bottom. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and black crackle painted tube with brass fittings and the T&T data sticker affixed to the outside.

Shipping Information

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.

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.
