Richard I am curious what your favorite fly rod is?

Winston WT 5wt 8'6"

Can't say that I'm an experienced gear *hore, but that rod seems to be
the favorite of some experienced Winston fans as well:

Winston makes good rods. Used to anyway.
But after what the did to Glenn Brackett
et al, I'd never consider buying another Winston anything.
Besides, they're making them in China now, but still
trying to charge as if they were hand made in Montana.

Mr. Brackett quit, he was not fired.

The lower cost rods are made in Asia as are the Temple Forks, most, if not
all of Cabelas and even St. Croix's entry level fly rod. The Premium Winston
rods are made in Montana.

Dis Winston if you want over the cane bru-ha-ha but get your story straight
at least.

All right the premium rods are still made in montana.
I did say they made good rods.

I also said they can kiss my ass because of the way they treated my
friend Glenn Brackett. I won't detail the reasons he had to be ****ed
off. He had many.

Anyone who still defends the company can kiss my ass too.

Alright I don't need to start a war. I take the kiss my ass
comment back. If some damn fool wants to still be
a Winston lover they don't have to kiss my ass.

I didn't defend them, I corrected factual errors in your post.
