I agree with all the aformentioned...I have a couple 1k+ rods a g.loomis and winston boron that I bought 2nd hand for 40 to 50 cents on the dollar ...the Loomis is great...have only grass casted the winston..seems good enough...my hardy demon tip literally exploded but Hardy honored it with me as 2nd owner...what gets used the most is a cabelas 5/6 wt glass rod and a graphite rod I built in the 70's from a shakepere blank...caught hundreds of rmwhite fish..on a 60's woolco spin rod and Mitchel 300 with 10lb test sears $1.49 day bulk line with a hand tied mosquito or a zug bug I learned at the old hook and hackle club as a kid...could only cast 10' max..but the most successful fly rod I have ever had...and that was primarily fishing the bow from Edworthy Park to princess island in yyc
