So wife Robin and I took a break from kitchen remodeling and went junk/antique shopping in Fredericksburg yesterday. I was about to walk out of the last shop when I saw a suspicious aluminum tube lurking in a corner. "Self, that looks like a fly rod tube." And it was. I unscrewed the cap and found a very nice South Bend 346 8.5' bamboo rod. At a price tag of $67.50 I figured I couldn't go wrong so I bought it. Wife was embarrassed when I assembled it in the local Ale house. Nobody was impaled or spelled beer.
-- I did a little research last night. This model was built in the mid to late 40's. Listed as a dry fly action, 5 wt. recommended using E or HEH line (whatever that means). Other than that I know nothing and am looking for further info so any help is appreciated. The cork handle has seen use but still intact. everything else looks really good to me. All of the wrapping are good.
Regards,
Bryan
