A Thomas and Thomas Salmon model bamboo fly rod, 9', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #8 line. Serial #3749. Impregnated model. 7.1 ounces. Very light use with a very small amount of hand soiling to the grip. Medium to medium slow action. Tan oven tempered cane done in a three up node pattern. The original owner's name is inked on the cane above the grip. Maroon wraps with no edges and two carbide strippers. The snake guides and tip tops are chrome. Swiss style ferrules with collars on the males. Both the female ferrules have a tiny T&T logo roller stamp. The grip is 7" long turned to a western profile with a hidden pocket cap and an all nickel silver uplocking screwlock. The slide is stamped "Thomas and Thomas, Makers". The mortised walnut spacer is spectacular and varnished smooth. The bottom cap has a nickel silver ferrule for the short fighting butt that's 2 3/4" long including the large red rubber button. The fighting butt stores in a separate compartment at the bottom of the rod tube. The rod packs into a cloth bag and an aluminum tube with a brass collar and top at either end.
Shipping Information
We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
Other Terms
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
