Horrocks-Ibbotson "Tonkin King" Bamboo Fly Rod, 8', 5 wt.
This very interesting rod may or may not be the very rare and elusive HI Tonka King trout rod, spoken of in hushed whispers in legend and myth. For more on the controversy, see the Classic Fly Rod Forum or click here. Anyway, it is a nice 2/1 rod and the reel seat is definitely an HI seat. The varnish is good and the ferrules pop. It weighs in at 4.9 oz. and has pretty red wraps with yellow tipping. Whether or not it is rare, it is a very nice fishing rod!
