A nice Thomas and Thomas Caenis model bamboo fly rod, 6', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #3 line. Serial #3685. The rod weighs 2.4 ounces. Used but very good condition. Impregnated model. Delicate action. Dark wheatstraw tempered cane done in a three up node pattern. Light tan main wraps with black edges, dark brown at the ferrules. Carbide stripper with black snake guides. Oxidized Swiss style ferrules with a collar. The grip is a 5" medium cigar grip. The varnished cap and ring seat is walnut with about 60% oxidation retention to the hardware. The butt cap has the roller die "Thomas and Thomas, Makers". The rod is straight and the ferrule fits are good. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag with a brushed aluminum tube with a brass top, collar, and bottom.
