Is anyone familiar with R L Winston Fly Rods? I'm an Illustrator and
I specialize in Sportfishing Art. An ad company has offered me a
trade in return for some new artwork. (funny how few people have any
real $$ to offer in the ad business). I've done a lot of fishing but
never taken up fly fishing. Any review or opions of their rods would
be appreciated. Apparently it's their new Boron IIx Sal****er Series,
they are offering (3) as well as $$. Thanks www.chartworksart.com

Well, if you're living in Nebraska, I'd pass. If you're on the coast,
grab all three. Check their selling price on Ebay and see if the
value makes up for your work. They are nice rods (I've casted them,
but don't own one). Very fast. Also, look at your time. You get
into serious fly fishing in the salt and you'll be using your artwork
to support your habit. Gotta buy lines, reels, a boat, flies,
beer, .... more beer.... Vicious descending spiral, that.
