Is anyone familiar with R L Winston Fly Rods? I'm an Illustrator and
I specialize in Sportfishing Art. An ad company has offered me a
trade in return for some new artwork. (funny how few people have any
real $$ to offer in the ad business). I've done a lot of fishing but
never taken up fly fishing. Any review or opions of their rods would
be appreciated. Apparently it's their new Boron IIx Sal****er Series,
they are offering (3) as well as $$. Thanks www.chartworksart.com

Well, if you're living in Nebraska, I'd pass. If you're on the coast,
grab all three. Check their selling price on Ebay and see if the
value makes up for your work. They are nice rods (I've casted them,
but don't own one). Very fast. Also, look at your time. You get
into serious fly fishing in the salt and you'll be using your artwork
to support your habit. Gotta buy lines, reels, a boat, flies,
beer, .... more beer.... Vicious descending spiral, that.

Thanks Frank,
I live in the Keys, already have a fishing habit to support. Just
never heard of the rods. Got a boat & can still afford the beer.
I've been wanting to learn to fly fish. So I suppose this might be a
good thing. I probably wouldn't go out and buy myself a fly rod
so,..
I can certainly do the math what my time's worth. It's funny,
just the day before I turned them down entirely, seems they had "no"
money. Today they have cash AND gear. I've never made any kind of
trade, especially for new work.
Honestly, I'll keep the rights to the work, and already have clients
waiting for half of the images. So it kinda works. Someone
suggested the 9', 8wt.
By the way, thanks for the feedback on my website, I forwarded it to
my web guy. We'll see what I can do about it. Marjorie

By the way, have them throw in reels and line. If they've got gear,
it could save you a lot of bucks.
