Jerry - good for you on launching into a refinish project. Those are a labor of love, and it can be very satisfying to fish a rod that you have poured so much effort into once you're done. Please keep us updated, and if you have any questions along the way there's more than a few of us who've...

Wow, what a great trip and great report! Sula has become one of my go-to areas, the cutts in the E and W forks are a bit scattered and a bit of work to find but it make for some pleasant fishing, especially with a nice bamboo rod. And is that an Iwana reel? What size? Cool!!!

Cliff, I’m excited that YOU are excited about those rods. Two of the finest casting bamboo rods I’ve ever had the pleasure to cast, and not bad to look at either! Since the door to the bountiful abundance of classic reels is open to you as a RHW guy (I’m jealous), I’d second the idea of a...

The Fest hits all three of my avid hobbies. And it's at one of my favorite places.

I've got a mint 696-4 VXP. Are those garnering anywhere near as much attention?

Beautiful stream!

The Cortland "travel" 5/6 is still available...

Yes, it is.

I'm in no hurry, if you want to reach out whenever you do cross that pond I'll try to meet. It's just sitting in my closet. Being to 2 piece rod, shipping is no fun to pack and would be pricey even somewhat local.

Yes, those earlier era Goodwin (vs Wright McGill) Granger Favorites had the beautiful more plentiful golden intermediate wraps. Classic. And that rod casts just like it looks. Very classic.

I've got some plans mid-day but am free earlier morning and late afternoon. Please message me and we can figure something out.

It only says "Switch 5/6 F" on the label, so I don't think so.

Do you want the Rio Switch line for another $20?

I've been hanging onto a few fly rods for far too long. I'm reducing my collection and these are all priced to sell. Please see if any are worth a look. Cash, local (Snohomish county) please. 1. SOLD Cortland GRF 1000 early graphite 9' 8 weight 2 piece. This one has landed chums, so it's...

SOLD My favorite Granger era is the earlier, "Goodwin Granger" era, when the tapers and rods were extra smooth casting. My favorite Granger model is the "Favorite" with its "jasper" wraps aged to a beautiful golden green with yellow trim wraps. My favorite Granger length is the 8-1/2', or...

I'll drop the local, cash price to $900 if anyone's thinking about this rod.

It casts as good as it looks too! Sorry that I'm in a downsizing phase, it is probably my best rod in many ways! But you gotta' do what you gotta' do.

SOLD I'm offering my beautiful looking and beautiful casting Leonard 50. This appears to be a pre-1964 rod and casts a four weight in my hand. 8' 3/2 rod with 16/10 ferrules and weighs 4.0 oz on my scale. The lighter Leonard 50's that cast a four weight are occasionally found but seem...
