Powell that fits in a duffle bag, but a rod I obviously haven&#39;t fished in a while.  I forgot I had it.  A 9&#39; 9wt St. Croix if I ever fish saltwater,
and a 7&#39; 4 wt just because it was the first rod I wrapped. btw my 15 and 12-year-olds fish cane and not the inexpensive rods. ]]>

If you are the &quot;seattlersetters&quot; who posts frequently on the Winston Forum, I believe you are have more than one graphite rod.....Otherwise you would
be not able to comment on the subtle differences of the latest Winston rods :-)) ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ When I learned to fly fish (the late &#39;60&#39;s), the only daily working choice was fiberglass.  I first saw bamboo in an Orvis catalog.  I could not
comprehend what made it worth the asking prices.  No one I knew had a bamboo fly rod.  My father told me that it was bamboo casting rods that he grew up using
(Heddons I have since acquired from my grandfather&#39;s estate).   I consoled myself by thinking bamboo rods were for the same kind of eccentric that enjoyed
things like Civil War... ]]></description>

pretty good idea. (I own the Orvis Superfine Henry&#39;s Fork 8.5&#39; 5wt.; and really like it.)
