Sweet! It would have been a lot better if I had kept it together... was going to convince him to send the item in question back to it's origin so I could catch the 'rat' red handed... and woulda gotten my rod back in the process! I'm still trying to figure out how much I woulda had to pay you to go along with it!

Rods, got a lot. Can't count that high. And it doesn't really matter.

[B]What I'd really like to know is not the number of rods all you people have, and maybe I'll start a new poll. If you had your choice of 5 fly rods. What would they be. You have an unlimited checkbook. Buy them or have them custom built. What species of fish too will they be used for. What weight, length, material it's made from and maybe even hardware. Single foot, snake, titanium, chrome, agate guides. Up locking or down locking reel seat and style, what wood/cork/acrilic/graphite spacer would you have. Color of the blank, thread color. Other custom features.
And for the finale, which reel would you put on each rod.
Spend some money, or go to Walmart. I don't care. Just what would you "order if you had unlimited resources. Let's have some fun with this.

Question Re: How Many Fly Rods Do You Own

3wt, 4wt, 5wt, 6wt, 8wt. I can't decide if I want a new M/F or Med 4 or 5 wt. Both my 4&5 are fast action.
