Default Intro and a fishing equipment question - (Long-winded)

I've got a four foot rod I built out of the tip section of an old busted
up glass rod I found in an abandoned house. It works beautifully on small
overgrown streams. It has also served me well on larger, more open
waters.

Years ago, I first got into fly fishing through some fortuitous gifts of fly
rods. Old, broken and cheap cane they were.

I found a damaged Southbend and did some alterations. With epoxy and what
not I made the second to last section of a four piece rod, the butt section.
Actually a bit shorter as I had a nine foot rod to begin with and ended up
with a six and one half foot rod.

I gave that rod away to a young boy and now, looking back on it, I release
what a sweet little rod it was ...maybe that's why I gave it to him in the
first place.

Anyhow, his mom was a six foot African Goddess and I never got laid.

john . . . I wish I would have kept the rod.
