Thomas and Thomas Hendrickson Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #5 8'8" The action is quite fastA Thomas and Thomas Hendrickson model bamboo fly rod, 7', 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5 line. Impregnated model. 3. 8 ounces. Full flexing but quick action. Tan color cane done in a three up node pattern. The main wraps are maroon with black edges at the keeper, ferrules, and tip tops. Carbide stripper and black snake guides. The modest use this rod has seen is evidenced only by a small amount of brassing to the inner part of the snake guides.
