Yeah Mike neither one of these guys read my first post, they just
jumped all over me with their winston crap. My guess is one of them is
a lawyer and the other a doctor. I like building fly rods on 8 dollar
blanks then I dont have to have to pay 500.00 for warrenty.

Still not man enough to admit being wrong i see. And I'm an accountant btw.
But I hire doctors and lawyers, does that count?

My guess is
if I blindfolded them they couldnt tell the difference between a
winston and a factory second shakespear rod.

Winston makes many models but I'm not sure shakespear(e) makes anything now,
but I'll take that bet.

Oh yea, if I make Penns this time, I'll be using a shakespeare cane rod,
finished by a competent custom rod maker.
