Good morning Anthony, i purchase a bamboo fly rod from you earlier part of the year on eBay. Just to give you a update on your rod. 6'3 4 weight. Took it on a trip to West Virginia caught 2-3 lbs and 1-5 lbs Rainbow using a 3" Hardy St George fly reel. Great little fly rod. Keep up the great class A workmanship. I have a original Paul Young Midge and can compare to this rod. Thanks for a perfect bamboo fly rod!
ReplyDeleteThank You Charles,
DeleteGlad that you like the rod. Good to hear that it is getting fished too. Really appreciate it. Those are some nice fish!! To have an original PHY Midge is awesome.
Thanks Again,
Anthony
