My wife gave me a fly rod a few years ago. I am sure it cost a lot and I know she did a lot of research and spoke to some friends before she picked it out. Boy, I must say it is a great rod. Light flexible very shiny and still has that brand new look and feel.
I also have this other rod, old, a bit tattered. It is not quite as pretty as it was when my grandfather gave it to me on my 16th birthday. But you know what? It feels comfortable, real good in the hands, nice balance.
And I sure caught a lot of fish with it. Still do.
I sense you’re a nice man. :)
There is something sexual here but I can’t seem to put my finger on it.
You could have really gone places with that 2nd line....

It’s not as good as it once was, but it’s as good once as it ever was....
