Gary Howells Bamboo Rod - early rod! 8'6" 2/1 #6 9'6" clay colored blankFor sale here is a very early Gary Howells rod 8'6 2 1 6wt. Mint condition. It has nickel silver ferrules that are not wrapped with silk like later Howells rods. It is also a single tip rod which he made a few of in the first three years (mostly longer rods). It could have also been an experimental taper or prototype rod. No one can be certain. The serial number of the rod is 3725. This indicates that the rod was made in 1970 when Gary was 37 years
