Save the Environment Use Bamboo!
 

We're fly fishermen, we care about the environment, yet most of fish
with graphite fly rods. As a group we're freeking hypocrites! Think
about it graphite is not friendly to the environment, leave your fly
rod out in the weather for 20 years, the cork, wood, and metal will
eventually degrade but the rod itself will still be there, just like
any other plastic! And we all know landfill space is at a premium.

When armageddon comes and we're all dead, your cane rods will bio
degrade so that whatever higher class of animal evolves from the
resulting event won't have to clean up more plastic and might even get
a few more drops of fuel from the disolved cane. (who needs dinosaurs)

Everyone but Barnard knows that a good cane rod is more forgiving to
the caster's imperfections, is a better fish fighting tool, and most
are made by skilled craftsmen or hobbyist with a love for transforming
pieces of grass into a fine fishing tool. So what if they might a
little more and cost a little more. What's a little extra weight and
saving your pennies weighted against the gains to the environment? Even
ROFF's number 1 penny pincher took the plunge last year and ordered
one!

Take the pledge, recycle your graphite fly rods into Patagucci's latest
fleece jackets and pants, use cane, its environmentally friendly.

Dear Wayne
Rather than landfill your graphite , I will use them for awhile
What have you got to send? MT

Dear Mark:

There once was a "what do you have thread" and I made the mistake of
posting what I had at the time. I would be happy to send them to you
however each rod will require a disposal fee, how big is your wallet?

Damn, I got cash from "disposing" my popup camper today. If the wiff wasn't
gonna be outta work for 3 months, I would gladly pay to paw through your
collection. 'Sides, I got dibs on a couple of those worthless pieces of
future lightbulb filaments.

landfill disposal fees, tho being a nice guy I m willing to waive
them MT
