make short work of an 8'4wt hardy with a 3" long salmon fly at the terminus,
i am in the market for a used 9'5wt.

since i am blessed with impeccable taste, my first choice would be,
obviously, a thomas.* however, if someone has an alternative offering that
doesn't include one of those freaking lamp posts carrying the inscription
"sage", i would be pleased to consider all comers.

wayne k? peetah? forty? choc? bruiser? warren? willi? rw?

I have two 9' 5 wts, a Wright & McGill Granger Aristocrat
3 piece, two tip and a Sage RPL 590-4 (4 piece). The 'boo
is slow and delicate, the Sage is one of the fastest rods
I own. Both of them see a lot of use out west, but go ahead
and make an offer. ;-)
