Gary Howells Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 2/2 #6 10'6" Oxidized cap and ring reelA nice Gary Howells bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #6 line. Serial #4243. 4 1 4 ounces according to the label, but my scale has it a tiny bit over that at 4. 7 ounces. Very minimal use with only a hint of grip soiling. Wheatstraw oven tempered cane done in a three up node pattern. Excellent varnish. Brown main wraps with yellow edges. Chrome snake guides and tip tops. The ferrule fits are tight and the overall rod is straight.
