<p>You bet I used them. I learned on glass. That was all that was available besides the high dollar bamboo. My favorite rod was a little 6 1/2' Heddon 5wt. I started on a real cheap Shakespeare that I bought at K-Mart along with a auto reel and level line. Man was that combo heavy and I hated it.

I bought a low end Berkely Cherrywood that I liked and still own. The original Shakespeare got shut in a car door and it was good ridance as far as I was concerned. It was terrible I thought. I did like the Berkely however. It was much slower. If I could find a light wt glass without paying an arm and leg I would buy it. I almost bought a new Eagle Claw at a flea market and I regreted it and went back a few weeks later but the vendor had moved on. Glass will take much more abuse than the frail graphites. I still use my old Pfleuger Medalist reels and have bought some new ones in the last few years. They are just like a Timex.....They will take a lickin and keep on tickin.....</p>
