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


RL Winston is/was considered one of the top makers of fly rods
around. They were recently the topic of a story in the Wall Street
Journal actually (within the last month or so). Some feel that the
quality of the rods isn't there after they came under new management a
couple of years ago, but they are still one of the premier names in
fly rods.
