A nice Thomas and Thomas Caenis model bamboo fly rod, 6'6", 2-piece, 2-tip and built for a #3 line. Serial #2819. The rod weighs 2.3 ounces. Impregnated model. Light use with no ferrule cracks and just a tiny amount of hand soiling. Delicate fine tipped action perfect for small flies. Dark wheatstraw color cane with maroon main wraps with edges of yellow and black at the keeper and male ferrules. The original owner's name is inked on the butt. The swiss style ferrules have a collar on the males and are polished bright. The stripping guide is carbide with black stainless snake guides. The cork grip is 5" long and shaped to a forward-biased large blunt cigar. The seat is flatted cork with opposed nickel silver rings and a cork ball on the bottom to hold them on. The cloth bag has a stiffener and the rod packs into an aluminum tube with brass fittings.
