#Description

This bamboo fly rod blank resurrects the legendary F.E. Thomas Special taper, digitally optimized for modern technical stream fishing. The tri-phase taper progression maintains a hyper-sensitive 0.069" tip while achieving precise energy control through 0.239"-0.359" butt reinforcement, creating perfect balance for 3wt line manipulation.

Engineered for alpine stream environments, it excels in complex scenarios including narrow channels(2-8m width) and woody debris zones. The 40"-50" primary flex zone with moderate-fast action enables quick transitions between dry fly presentations and micro-weighted nymphing techniques. Mirror-polished 18% nickel silver ferrules integrate seamlessly with the hex-split Tokin bamboo's natural fiber patterns.

Pre-finished with eco-friendly water-based varnish to preserve bamboo's organic texture while providing essential protection. Experienced rod makers may opt for unfinished blanks for deep customization or self-installed ferrule systems. Recommended for 1.2g maximum weight configurations targeting 8-14" trophy fish in technical waters.
