3" Dingley "perfect" fs

feeds@yuku.com (Short Tip) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:44:55 GMT

Hi, this is a nice 3" Dingley marked for Westley Richards, little finish remaining and has a pleasantly oxidized surface. Single check, separate bearing, bronze lineguard, unfiled foot will fit nearly anything. RHW. D6 stamped to inside. The handle was replaced years ago by Archuletta's, he did not have the off white material at that time so it's a Hardy type black handle. I'm sure he could fit a closer replica now for small money. Working perfectly. A nice reel.

White River, Arkansas

I'm considering a trip to the White River this coming Spring, and wonder if anyone has a guide service or individual guide with whom you've had a good experience. All information appreciated, either as replies to this post or via PM if you prefer. Thanks, Gents.

Reel Pictures

feeds@yuku.com (Bubba) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:35:45 GMT

Been buggering around with the camera this a.m. trying to figure out how to take a decent indoor picture. They all seem to come out a bit off coloured at least to my old eyes. I'm using a Pentax optio 43WR. I've set up two desk lamps each with a GE 60 watt soft white light bulbs. Looking for any suggestions you all might have.Here's an example of what I'm getting.

Brookie Rod

My all time favorite fishing is up high for wild fish in the small mountain streams of east TN. Mountain Laurel (rhododenron's) make some tight tunnels.

I have fished these waters for years with a Granger 7030. I like the 7ft rod for 95% of my mountain fishing helpful with line control and
roll casting but short enough to be workable in the...

Whitehead Style Beveller

feeds@yuku.com (WIHEXROD) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:57:59 GMT

This is a Whitehead style beveller I purchased from George Mauer. Mine is similar to the one in his book. It has a new cutter in the box and a slightly used cutter in place. I have also added a dust collection hood to reduce the dust. Asking $800 including shipping in lower 48.

Someone recently gave me a 9 pc rod, see pics. It has 3 tips, apprears to be bamboo covered in a flexible black paint. It came in a metal tube and had a booklet regarding how to configure it for fly/spinning/bait/surf casting depending on configuration fo the various pcs. I would appreciate any information you can provide regarding history, maker, material, etc. A search of the Web. turned up nothing meaningful.

What do you value? Content, accuracy and real news or your own edited version of what you think this site's original intention should be? Clark's orginal concept has been TOTALLY lost. Who of you even recall who Clark is? What was this forum about? Why did he create it? Don't know? Then start asking. This USED to be a HUGE informational CENTER for all things bamboo...no longer!

I have little doubt that the new owners will delete my account if they...

I have a super rare, and mint, Hardy Marquis 2/3 I'd like to trade for a 70's vintage Hardy Featherweight in the same condition. I will consider reels in a lesser condition if the deal includes a spare spool. PM me if you have something.

Judging from the posts in the last few months I think we have lost our direction in all of the forum topics. I'm not sure what will get us back on track but I find myself checking this forum less and less as each week goes by. Many of the old members that used to post REALLY valuable comments here no long visit this site. I am dismayed and saddened.

Truly saddened.

The great dialog on many topics is gone. The depth of knowledge-based topics has diminshed greatly....

Ron Kusse

It's come to my attention from another board, that Ron Kusse, one of the world's premiere bamboo rod builders, is scheduled to start chemotherapy for prostrate cancer. I believe he is scheduled for up to 40 treatments. I hear that his prognosis is good, but he could use all the prayers he can get from lovers of true quality boo sticks. Please keep Ron in your prayers.
Thanks,
Joe
