A Thomas & Thomas “The Catskill Legend” bamboo fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Mint condition. This rod is #5 of a limited edition of 15 that were produced to honor a number of Catskill luminaries and intended to help raise funds for the Catskill Fly Fishing Center. Fast action. Flamed cane with darker patches and three-up node pattern. Impregnated. Gold main wraps with light brown edges on all and extra bands of yellow and brown at the keeper, ferrules, and tip tops. A light scheme of dark brown intermediates. Carbide stripper and black stainless snakes. The Swiss-style ferrules are collared in typical T&T fashion and are polished bright. The grip is a 6" long slim/medium cigar. The reel seat is all nickel silver and provides most of the weight of this rod, due to the necessity of engraving the Catskill Fly Fishing logo, and the names of many of the Catskill fishing luminaries. The engraving includes several mayflies and “Ltd. Edition 15 rods”. It also has the “Thomas + Thomas, Makers” stamp and the ring is engraved “The Catskill Legend.” The package includes a tan cloth bag, brushed aluminum tube with brass fixtures, T&T logo sticker, and T&T paperwork and the bill of sale. A great collectible piece for the Catskill enthusiast.
