ROFFers:

Do you know if any rod company makes a nice 3-piece 4-weight graphite
rod, 8-1/2 or 9 feet long? I just broke the Orvis Zephyr I've been
using for 27 years. I don't really want to switch to a four-piece
rod.

Hi john

I'm curious as to why you don't want a four-piece. I don't have any
(well one - one of the very first, a 9 foot Hardy Pall Mall Exclusive),
but people suggest that a 4-piece made today is at least as good as a
2-piece made, say , fifteen or twenty years ago.

any thoughts?
