Jim Hidy Bamboo Fly Rod 7'3" 3/2 #3

Jim Hidy Bamboo Fly Rod 7'3" 3/2 #3A nice Jim Hidy bamboo fly rod, 7'3", 3 piece, 2 tip and built for a #3 line. Serial #5205H3. The rod weighs 3. 6 ounces on my scale. Moderate used condition. Semi parabolic action. Blonde cane done in a three up node pattern configuration on the butt and mid and a spiral pattern on the tips. The main wraps are light brown with a black edge at the keeper and black halfway on the ferrule wraps. Carbide stripper and black snakes with a small bit of wear
