Thomas and Thomas Montana Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 3/2 #6 9'2" Single piece loop style hookA nice Thomas and Thomas Montana model bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #6 line. Serial #5722 and the rod weighs 6. 4 ounces on my scale. Very pleasing action, a quicker DF than many of the Montana models that I have handled. I would consider this rod mint but for the cosmetic casting cracks at the ferrule wraps. The rod is fully engraved on all of the metal surfaces. The cane is tiger stripe flamed and done in a three up node
