Oh God I want it!
Grew up fishing rods of all sizes that look just like that.
Love them.
What reel goes on it? I recommend a Mitchel 498.

Penn 706 Greenie or DAM Quick 5001 — if it was going to be fished, that is — which I doubt...

Nice rod, Chris!

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Some days the supply of available curse words is insufficient to meet my demands.

That is a gem. Beautiful rod. I have been looking for something like that in a conventional for a while. They are hard to find as most folks realize what they have and don't want to part with them.

Wow, looks like it spent it's life in that sock in a closet. Beautiful rod
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I have one but it is scraped up in spots.  It has cork grips and a rubber cap on the bottom.  Is there a way to bring the brown color back where it is scraped?  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Have someone do a custom matching wrap & epoxy — along with your name, over the scraped area.

Thanks Fred.  Any members willing to take this on as a project?  Not a freebie, I want to pay.  Dominick

I could probably do it for you Dom, as long as you're not in a huge hurry to get it back.
