Default Winston Rod

I broke my Winston LT 5 weight when I fell on the Rapid in June.
Broke the 4th and 5th sections. So, I gathered up the remains,
stuffed them into the rod bag/tube, and forgot about it. Duh!

I used a Sage 4 weight and an Orvis 6 weight completely forgetting
about having the LT fixed. I finally remembered it, called Winston in
Montana, and the sweet young lady confirmed that I was the original
purchaser of the rod and I should send it to them with a check for 50
bucks to cover postage/handling/insurance. Such a deal!

If they can not repair it (two new sections), they will replace it.
Such a deal! Now I know why I spent so much money on the beautiful
thing. It is by far the best fly rod I have ever fished with, capable
of short, accurate casts, delicate presentations with dries, or wind
stomping casts with streamers and a sink line. It has served me
faithfully for more than six (??) years (whenever the LT series first
came out) in Labrador, and Maine. Peter Charles recommended it to me.
