Thomas and Thomas Midge Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 3/2 #4

Thomas and Thomas Midge Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 3/2 #4A gorgeous Thomas & Thomas Midge bamboo fly rod, 7, 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4 line. Serial #5743. The rod weighs 3. 5 ounces. Fast D. F. action. This is my favorite T&T model. This one has been lawn cast and is near mint condition. There is a very small amount of brassing to the inner snake guide and cosmetic casting cracks to the mid female wrap. Otherwise the rod is in perfect condition and straight as a pin. This rod has standout engraving

There are no cracks or dings
