You know with the stimulus check coming and all.

I've got several (none to get rid of), including one/coupla-three
literally new in the packaging and have a smattering info on them. *My
grandfather used to keep them around for guests, etc. (for use in the US
Gulf states, not "trout" fishing) and I've fished a number of them on
bass, panfish, small salt fishing, etc. - never, AFAICR, trout (as most
define "trout"). *I like 'em for such, and they seem to be, IME, decent
rods for such. *

If your goal was simply to find one, John's generosity seems to have
taken care of that. *If you want more info, I'll post what I have.

Well it was a suprisingly generous offer. I have amassed quite a few
graphite rods, some I have built and some I have bought, and have
found myself going slower and slower action wise as I go along. It
just feels more comfortable and enjoyable to me. Fiberglass was
always on my mind but I finally decided to give it a try. I can't say
for sure if it is for me or not but it seems like I would enjoy it.
I found a very nice reference for alot of older glass rods. Alot of
you may already know of it for those that don't and are interested
here is a link to the wonerods.
