it for a nice

buddy who is a good caster, and realized what a really nice casting rod this

thanks for the ride along. Pretty country and a pretty fish. I have an old
Cortland 4 piece 8 foot 4 piece rod from I think it was 1986 vintage so it
could be the grandfather of your rod. Last time I cast it I wondered why I
bought all those other 6 weight rods. That rod was tied to the bike for over
1000,000 miles on that old BMW motorcycle. As a friend's dad once said "Two of
the three finest things in the world are going fishin' and riding motrosicles."
