Default George Gherke ******* Bamboo

Hello all,

I am currently going through divorce, and am forced to sell most
anything I value to get myself out of a deep hole....I have one of
George's ******* Bamboo Black Ravens with my name on it unfourtanatly.
The cap on the end of the wood inseart for the real seat has come
unglued also...i'm sure this is an easy fix....either way it's a nice
little rod from a historical roff member...I've been holding on to it
for 8 years now, and have never fished it for that matter....i am
hopeing to get $400 or OBO for it....thanks guys, let me know if your
interested.

I have two of his original rods - the Happy Hooker. Never paid more
than $300 for one, and it's not worth more than $300.

"The cap on the end of the wood inseart for the real seat has come
unglued also...i'm sure this is an easy fix." And you have yet to fish it!

And I'm sure that is not the only thing wrong with the rod/or will be wrong.

Do you know what the original name was for your rod, the Black Raven?
Gehrke wanted to call it the "Black *******." He didn't see anything
wrong with that name. We on roff disagreed with him. Mercifully, he
saw it our way.
