FE Thomas Special Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 3/2 #6/7A F. E. Thomas Special bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for what feels like a #6 or #7 line. D. F. action. Serial number FE83. The rod weighs 5. 0 ounces on my scale. Lawn cast only condition, with no ferrule wrap cracking and no grip soiling whatsoever. There is a bit of varnish worn out at the heavy wire reverse twist snakes and some brassing to the interior top taper, but that's about it. Blonde cane with brown main wraps and no edge

Nice medium action with rod flexing into the grip
