Vince Cummings Rod ?

feeds@yuku.com (bocash3) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:22:00 GMT

Sorry, I know this does not belong here but I did not know where else to turn for help on this one, and I know there are many guys here knowledgable in this maker's work.

I have found a mint new 1977-78 Vince Cummings graphite, 4 piece, 8 1/2 foot, marked for 7-8 weight. This rod still has Vince's clear plastic on the cork grip and the original Cummings labeled tube is without flaw. I am holding off on a purchase because I knew Vince's fiberglass rods...

Cross Rod? What is the value?

feeds@yuku.com (Flyfishbill) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:36:47 GMT

I'm helping a friend identify one of his rods and the value of the rod. The rod is 3/1 (probably was a 3/2) 9' in length. There are no identification marks on it, but there is a rod bag that says "CROSS Split Bamboo". Below is a photo. Can anyone confirm that it is a Cross and what is the value?

New old Orvis Battenkill and when was it built?

feeds@yuku.com (bob2935) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:29:25 GMT

I just tried Greg's Orvis data base and it only went up to 1947. Just picked up an old Battenkill 8' 4 1/8 oz two tipped Battenkill that is in rough shape but could be fished as is. The seller claimed it was built in 1960 but the serial # is 9693 and the writting on the rod states Orvis Impregnated on one flat and on another states "Pat-Pending" Does anyone know when the rod was built?

How do people rate the Battenkills from this era. I did put a line on it and...

Silk vs. Nylon

feeds@yuku.com (Trout120) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:43:00 GMT

How many people use silk vs nylon? I know Howells' used both, nylon on the brown wraps and silk on the yellow tipping. In such small sizes is there much of a difference?

I have two reels to sell.

The Robichaud has a small scuff on the frame (most easy to see on the penobscot photo). Other than that, it is mint. Always covered when not fishing, even when hanging up at...

de-lamenating Granger

feeds@yuku.com (2 Bead Pupa) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:11:16 GMT

I just bought a 7030 project rod and now relize that it's de-lamenating just below the ferrule on the butt. I thought that I read awhile ago that Gorrilla glue was good for this kind of fix because it creeps well. Has anyone tried it? Is there another glue that would be better ?
Thanks, Russ

Hello

feeds@yuku.com (Colston Newton) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:36:55 GMT

Somehow this forum dropped off my list of favorites when I moved back to Virginia from Tennessee and I haven't been around. I decided to fix that and here I am. Hi.

No 'boo inthe collection at the moment, but am on the hunt again.

!910 Boy Scout Merit Badge

feeds@yuku.com (troutwings) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:30:17 GMT

Ladies 'n Gentlemen ,
I need your thoughts ..below are the requirements for the Boy Scout Angling Merit Bade in 1910.........question is - how would a 13 year old Boy Scout in 1910 build those rods? Note..it doesn't say bamboo so could be wood. I don't think anyone was selling blanks back then and, anyway, a Boy Scout probably couldn't afford it.

"To obtain a merit badge for Angling, a...

Edward's Style Winding Check

feeds@yuku.com (troutcreek) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:47:45 GMT

I've seen photos of Edward's Quads that have a black plastic (Bakelite?) winding check and real seat ring. Can anyone suggest a material that I can make similar parts from? I searched through the archive and found a string on Ebonite. Is this material strong enough to make a real seat slip ring? Any other material suggestions? Thanks,

WTB 4wt DT silk line, inexpensive (maybe needing TLC)

feeds@yuku.com (8xtippet) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:42:04 GMT

I'd like to find a 4wt DT silk line, color not important, maybe needing some TLC (I wouldn't mind the experience of refinishing) as long as it is not rotted or frayed... you know, fishable condition. Suggestions welcome on where to search. PM with available items. Thanks!

Hardy Silex soul - some pics

feeds@yuku.com (enigma309) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:31:34 GMT

There's been some discussion of "Soul" on other parts of the forum. Here's what some of us consider to be a reel with lots of it.

Sadly, it isn't my reel but belongs to a friend . .. .. here's what he says about it:

"Hardy 4 ¼" Silex Major (1928-30) with auxiliary brake in very fine condition. The reel comes in a block leather case (not Hardy), and with the original 10 page manual for the reel. Additionally, a spare...

Looking for a snake guide for a Montague Flash

feeds@yuku.com (mhackney) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:04:30 GMT
I have an otherwise perfect early Flash that is missing 1 snake guide from the middle section. The originals are blackened. Interestingly, a small segment of the original guide's foot is still in the wrap closest to the grip. That wrap is unscathed. The upper wrap has all of the original thread intact. The thread unwound starting at the guide working towards the tipping. Only 8 or so wraps unwound - probably to remove the broken foot. I should be able to rewrap and varnish it once I...
