Ted Simroe Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #3

Ted Simroe Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #3A Ted Simroe bamboo fly rod, 7'6" 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #3 line. The rod weighs 3. 3 ounces on my scale. Inked with the maker's name, the model, and the serial number (#763) on the butt. Mint condition with the plastic still on the grip. Medium full flexing action. The rod is nice and straight and the ferrule fits are good. Light wheatstraw cane done in a three up node pattern configuration. Excellent varnish. Honey wraps with red tipping

This book uncovers in fine fashion all of the available facts regarding this brilliant reelmaker and his history at Hardy and beyond

One tip is perfect

The grip is done in a western profile with a small heel and is composed of 1/8" corks

Excellent lightly used condition with a few cosmetic marks here and there but very nice overall
