This is my first post with pictures. If all goes well I'll be fishing my FE Thomas 8' 3/2 this very weekend. The rod needed work and I think Bob
Nunley did a superb job in giving it a new tip and restoring it to original condition.

Teter:
Thanks. I should clarify that the mid-section was replaced as well. During the restoration, we discovered the mid was probably not original so Bob built one for me. I had spoken to M. Keane about the rod, so I had the specifics. And his Thomas notes matched the description we found inside the tube's cap exactly. Now everything fits and this rod casts like a dream with a Sylk 5 wf.

Bob,
This is a blank made by Golden Witch based off the Dickerson 7613 but lightenen up a bit in the butt section. I purchased a blank from them and finished it out myself. 
SEE HERE 
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
