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

Heck, you might be able to "rebarter" them...for example, if Wayne
Knight wants another rod...oh, hell, look what I'm saying...Wayne Knight
wants another rod, and if you need some taxes done...just a thought.

IAC, they are decent rods and Winston has a decent reputation, but the
"worth it" is up to you, based on your valuation of the work you'll do
versus the "market value" (or the value to you) of the rods. If you just
want opinions, here's mine: If it'll take you an hour or three in your
spare time, it's worth it. If you'll be slaving for 12 hours a day for
10 days, it isn't worth it.
