Tim Abbott Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5

Tim Abbott Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5A Tim Abbott bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5 line. Medium fast action. No serial number. 3. 1 ounces on my scale. A 2020 date is inked on the rod shaft. Lawn cast condition. The cane is a light wheatstraw color and the nodes are two opposed in a spiral pattern. The nodes are pressed and very small. The main wraps are red with small black edges and all black at the ferrule. Red agate stripper and the snake guides are oxidized

We will follow up to arrange the details post-purchase

Fully bound in maroon bonded leather

refinished by Don Schroeder and the rod has not been fished since

A very neat piece of fly fishing and fly tying history

Bag is correct and original

The grip is 5 1/2" long and styled to a standard Payne cigar

Schwiebert is well remembered in fly tying circles for his notable contributions in the field of insect comparability

as it is the lightest salmon reel that Stan made that has the fantastic double brake drag system

The rod packs into a green cloth bag and a brushed aluminum tube
