Howells, G.H. - 6'3" 2/2 3wt (2oz) Bamboo Rod

For sale here is a very rare 6'3" 3wt Gary Howells rod in excellent condition. Medium toned cane, 3x3 nodes, bright guides and color preserved chestnut windings with gold/red accents. Overwrapped ferrules fit perfectly, and all sections are full length, straight & serialized. #3918, made in 1972 for Classic Rods. Strap & ring hook keeper, all-cork grip & reel seat with aluminum slide band hardware. The cork shows just a hint of soiling, this rod has clearly seen very little use. Scripted and actual weight is 2oz. Medium, light line action, but not sluggish at all. A perfect 3wt. Howells made very few 6'3" rods and this one is in incredible shape, a worthy addition to any collection. Sold in the original bag and tube.

This item comes from Dean Malencik’s generous donation of vintage rods & reels to Trout Unlimited. Proceeds from the sale benefit both the national organization of Trout Unlimited and your local chapters. Learn more about Dean’s gift in the March 2025 issue of Trout Magazine
