LynnF Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 wow...the hoofin' business must have been lucrative this winter. I guess you're buying the drinks next time then eh? Kidding....nice rod. Fishing that is. Quote
beedhead Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Nice Rod!...Did ya happen to find it in Nanton????...Cool little town...With lots a goodies ... Quote
Taco Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 Lynn the comedian :D good to see ya back, it's been awhile, missed ya. Tell ya what... I'll buy ya both drinks all summer if'n ya just pay half my diesel fuel bill.....keep ya both 3 sheets to the wind all summer and save me money :P bh; bought it from a picker acquaintance who found it @ an auction sale, probably was destined for Nanton before I intercepted it. I know I put some extra cash in his pocket but most glass flyrods are still half the price as same brand bamboo rods. Quote
Conor Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Beauty. Is there a cheaper way to get into glass? Some blue collar brands? Are they a bit more durable than boo or graphite? Quote
Taco Posted May 4, 2008 Author Posted May 4, 2008 How cheap's cheap? That 7'6"rod above cost me $175, a very fishable 7'-7'6" Fenwick runs around $100, a good Shakespeare Wonder Rod $50-60. Got a Wonder Rod that Colin's reworking that I got @ a garage sale for 15 bucks. Depends a great deal on condition and length, the 6' to 7' rods being the most desirable. Don's gonna kick my ass but don't take as much care and lighter than grass, not as fragile as graphite but heavier. Quote
