FE Thomas Special Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #4/5 Vintage Fly Tackle Adjustable caliper checkAn FE Thomas Special bamboo fly rod, 8', 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4 or #5. The rod weighs 3. 5 ounces on my scale. Medium slow action. Fair condition, all full length but some wrap fraying at the mid male and there is a clear wrap below the tip top on one tip. There are also some signs of polish residue and some overcoating of guide wraps. This is a fairly early rod with no # on the butt cap and a rolled and soldered ring. Chinese red main
