Thomas and Thomas Kosmic Comemorative Fly Rod 1984 #5 9' Comes with Hardy zippered reel

Comes with Hardy zippered reel case

probably from spending its time in a high humidity environment

but rather it was made while Bill Phillipson still owned the company

The full-wells grip is 6 1/2" in length with the plastic still on the grip

I would suggest this rod had one tip lawn cast only

Thomas and Thomas Kosmic Comemorative Fly Rod 1984 #5 9' Comes with Hardy zippered reelA nice Thomas and Thomas Kosmic Commemorative Limited Edition rod, 8'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, built for a #5 line. Serial #5, made in 1984. 6. 2 ounces. Full flexing medium slow action. I would describe the condition as "lawn cast once", as I can see a faint smidge of brassing in one tip but not the other. Oven tempered dark wheat straw colored cane in a three up node pattern. The wraps are chinese red with black edges. The stripping guide is a #10 SRMC
