In particular, Thomas and Thomas, "Trouter" model.

If so, can you please drop me an email?

Is it bamboo?

I like Sigs and HK's, and maybe Glocks

Thomas and Thomas is a well made higher end fly rod company that started gaining popularity in the 70s. I’ve never fished one but have held some of their bamboo rods and was impressed. Can you give us more details on the “trouter” rod. Length, line wt., number of sections, bamboo/glass/graphite, approx year of manufacture. If it is bamboo do you have both original tip pieces and how is the overall condition. The rod has value that can be as little as $3-400 or potentially up into the thousands. Does it have a reel on or with it?

Here is a source that I have used in the past. There is not much on Thomas.
