A nice Gary Howells fly rod, 8' 2-piece, 2-tip built for a #5 line. Serial number 5909. Near mint condition. The only signs of use I could find are some tiny marks from the reel foot on the screw lock seat and very minor soiling to the grip. Rod has a quicker feel than a lot of Howells rods. 2-opposed node pattern. Superb varnish. Chrome guides, and wraps brown with yellow edges. 12 cork 6" long western-style grip. Uplocking screw lock seat with a varnished wood spacer. Original bag and tube with the data sticker.
