NO high dollar rods...but if anyone has a junker laying around that they
might want to get rid of, let me know...

Here you go. The Brunsell Lil' Streamer.

I know a couple people who have cast these rods (I never have) and
they both said they actually cast very well.

FWIW, Ed Payne designed a very similar series of rods, and they were of very
limited use. Basically, you can get much the same "real world" effect with the
top section of a longer, lighter 2-pc. rod. OTOH, the short Paynes will run
_considerably_ more than the hundred or so these rods run, so if it fits the
bill size-wise, it seems a fair enough price.
