I like them. I haven't bought another one since last night at out
Dallas Flyfishers Club auction. I have a whole stack of them and I
prefer the Pro Series which are 4 piece rods. They are not especialy
pretty rods, but I like the way they cast. I like the way Rick Pope
runs his business. I have known him for years and he stands by his
product. I did something stupid a few months ago and brought the broken
rod to his warehouse and was expected to throw the ball for one of the
three dogs that were at work that day before I could leave after they
fixed my screwup for free. I don't know how you could beat that for
customer service. He also gave me a hand full of head cement, line
dressings, and a few other items. That Hard As Hull head cement is a
great product as well. I don't use head cement very often, but that is
the brand I have been using for the past year or so. Conan The
Librarian bought one of the series one 3 weight rods a year or so ago
if I remember correctly. I think he liked it so much he bought one of
their 5 weight rods, but I don't remember which series rod that one
was. I think too few of us buy the 2 piece rods anymore. a 9 foot rod
is a 9 foot rod when you are fishing. It dosen't matter much how many
pieces the rod is in. I have been buying 4 piece rods for years simply
because they strap to the motorcycle easily. I realised the other day
that my "new" BMW motorcycle is now 19 years old.
