About The Rod

This is a classic Thomas taper with a crisp medium dry fly action. The rod is a bit more tip oriented and would feel comfortable to someone used to fiberglass or graphite rods. A lovely swell before the grip stops the action higher up and provides reserve power for those windy days.

Four bamboo rod sections, including cork grip, highly figured reel seat and snake guides wrapped in green and black jasper thread.
