Yesterday I bought a new/old stock Cortland Blue Sapphire 9', 4/5, IM6, spigot ferrule
Never used, plastic still wrapped on the rod tube and grip
Apparently it was Cortland's final attempt at the high end rod market (at the time). Made by Diamondback, but discontinued in 1998
(which would make it my "newest" factory rod )
I remember from old magazine ads that there were 3 in the series, the Brown Topaz, the Blue Sapphire, and the Black Diamond, but that's all I recall.
Any insight ?
