Brandin 802-2 'GMS'; 8 ft 2pc/2 tips, 2½ oz
~Brandin 802-2 'GMS'; 8 ft 2pc/2 tips, 2½ oz semi-hollow hexagonal rod for #2 line. 'GMS' stands for Galen Mercer Special as he urged me to build a rod such as this one and we went through a number of prototypes before arriving at this final design. You may read more about how this came about by going back on my 'Models in Development' page. This rod surprised me with its versatility when I started fishing it; not only the narrowly focused design one may expect. A very smooth casting rod with DT2 or TT2 line and capable in the right hands of handling large trout to well over 20 inches. This one remains in essentially new condition, coming with original bag, ferrule plug, labeled tube and outer tube bag. From the Thomas H. Clark collection. SOLD Click on smaller images to enlarge
