Re: How Many Fly Rods Do You Own

The 5 I polled did not include 3 bamboo rods in various state of repair or disrepair. Two of the rod I would like to have appraised by a professional rod appraiser. Main reason is I would not want to ruin their value by refinishing. Anyone know of a good reputable appraiser?

Re: How Many Fly Rods Do You Own

Rods I own also includes the ones the old man fishes, cause we trade off, and lets face it, when he is gone they are mine and visa versa. Around 50 also.

Re: How Many Fly Rods Do You Own

I am kinda embarrassed to say but I have a plethera (cool word,uncool spelling) of rod's.I sometimes feel like a drug addict that has to hide his stash so other's wont know just how hooked he is.
I have about 23 or so,although only 4or5 see the light of day during the run of a season.I do make a effort to break out a couple of the "lookers" every season just to remind myself why I bought them in the first place.I have a couple that I dont dare fish either because of fear of damaging them or because of total impractalcality such as my 0 weight's 1's and 2's,and my 9 and 10 weight's,as I have no use for such rod's any longer.
I am the first to admit I am a horder when it comes to rod's,some call me a collector but i'n my mind a collector has a valuable collection with a few rare or very valuable rod's sprinkled in,my pile of stick's is graced by only med to high range rod's.Like I said I am a horder.

Re: How Many Fly Rods Do You Own

Ten rods ranging from 3 weight to 8 weight in different lengths from different
manufacturers. If my wife was to read this, honey I'm just kidding! I just have one!
