Now, have you lined up plenty of overtime opportunities and familiarized yourself with the most direct route to the nearest pawnshop?

Welcome to our world!

The "7612" is a 7'-6" rod w/ 12/64 ferrels.
I have not cast or even seen the rod.
I communicated by email and talked by phone with Jonas Price at "The Feathered Hook".

Jonas offers a no questions asked return policy anyway.

Thanks for all the responses.
I am looking forward to joining the bamboo world!

Years ago when I was (for lack of a better term) between wives, a young lady I spent some time with told me she believed bird hunting and fly fishing were religious experiences for me.
She's probably right. They are at least often spiritual or mysyical experiences.

I started with bamboo not too long ago and now my entire family is raising cane. The rods are dangerously seductive for sure but the boo people are so nice that being part of the brotherhood is addictive. As for owning different rods... well, all I can say is that 'splittin cane' is like 'splittin hairs' ( veryone has his own opinion) except its way more fun.

As for owning a bunch of rods...One trick... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ARTHURK) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/100352 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:04:45 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/100348/t/My-first-Bamboo.html#reply-100348 Better to be Nekkid with two than nekkid with none at all!!!!
