It lays #3 line beautifully and I've fished this same model throughout some of New England's best backcountry brook trout waters

One ring on the mid section appears to have been re-whipped

Walt Carpenter "Like A Thomas" Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #5 8'9" 2 3/4" rim to rimA very nice Walt Carpenter Browntone "Like a Thomas" bamboo fly rod, 8', 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5 line. Made in 2016, according to the accompanying hang tag. The rod weighs 4. 2 ounces on my scale. This is one of Walt's special limited rods that pay homage to prior makers, this one to FE Thomas. Medium action. This one appears to be lawn cast at most. The rod is straight and the ferrules seat nicely. Medium dark cane with the nodes randomly
