Information

I know this sounds strange, but vintage equipment like fiberglass rods still have a place! We can talk shop and discuss why some vintage gear is just as good (if not better) than the new stuff.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on August 7, 2012 at 3:44pm: HEY GREG, YUP the old wonderods were all made the same way the spinning rods were. The fly rods came first however and then the spinning rods were introduced after them.
