Someone I know is trying to sell me a fly rod:

Leon Chandler
Custom Graphite By Courtland 2 piece #6
USA Made
It has a number on it: G-204 9'

It has a soft cloth container.

Can anyone give me an idea of what its worth?

I told him that I've been thinking of a Sage like the one someone
suggested a while back for $199
http://www.flyfishusa.com/rods/sage/...htm#four-piece

Is 4 pieces better than 2?

Thanks,
Bob B.


Bob,

Sorry, I am not qualified to give a judgement on the value of the Cortland.
As far as a 4 piece rod being better than a 2 piece, I asked that question
of a lot of people before making a decision on what rods to buy. The answer
I repeatedly got was that it was personal preference. Obviously a 4 pc would
be better for those that hike and pack thier gear into remote places. I
typically don't, so I chose 2 pc. rods. Different manufacturers could be
different. Check my post from 10-4 (What do you use?), most everyone here
commented on what they prefer to use (and why). You might find some of their
info. helpful.

best of Luck,
Jeremy Moe
