Me..I'll use a broomstick and some coated washers as guides. Plenty good enough.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on October 29, 2012 at 4:23pm

WELL RICK GIVE ME A CALL LATER and we'll talk about the merits of Graphite over glass and of course the other way too! I have an eight weight, 9weight , and a 10 here for ya just in case you decide to go for Musky's, Manatee's, or Mermaids!!!!!! All glass of course and wouldn't consider a graphite in the heavier weights my self, but that's just me talking and I"m kind of opinionated as you already know!!! Graphites can get kind of pricey buddy !

Comment by Leo Nguyen on October 29, 2012 at 1:49pm

Tooty may not agree with me on this, but, if you're in the budget, stick with X-11 Fly 9wt, 9'. A little too long for me, but if you're on a boat, hey, 15' is still good. If money is not an issue, then the Infinity SI 9wt, 9', is the way to go.

If you have a the time and patience, search for a Kencor fly rod, 7wt/8wt/9wt, OR have Tooty fashion you the fly rod out of the remaining Kencor blanks. Here's a list of Kencor blanks from long ago, but searching for the model of the blank among the list should be a simple task. Tooty, want to chime in which blank may be best for Rick to search for?

Better yet, have Tooty fashion something from Lamiglas' blanks. Shouldn't be a problem with the rods' master at your disposal.

Sorry Leo - I ment fly rod not fly line.
