I asked the guy about it, said it was his grandfathers and as far as he knows nothing was ever replaced at some point he also has some hardy reels for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocco 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2015 Try the Classic Fly Rod Forum. The guides, as much as I can enlarge them, look something like spinning rod guides to me. The guide number and spacing also looks odd for a fly rod. Rocco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guide number and spacing also looks odd for a fly rod. Rocco I agree, four guides plus a tip top? With that overly long cork grip, it appears you've got the world's shortest Spey rod. "at some point he also has some hardy reels for me" Caveat emptor. Something's dodgy here, along with the pop-up that comes with the external link.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2015 Yeeaaahhhh ... I am thinking one didn't fish for a whole day with that rod. Half an hour ... fish or not, you're done. I am also thinking that anything less than a 4 foot shark and you'd just snatch the fish out of the water on the hook set. But wow !!! Think of the size flies you could heave with that rod !!! Use a whole Baby Seal to tie a Baby Seal Fly for Great Whites ... COOL !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
