in the vintage fiberglass world, we all know about Scientific Anglers "System" rods/reels that marketed a "matched pairing" to anglers.

Im wondering what other matched pairings you all have in your collections?
Im guessing there are numerous Hardy/Hardy, Orvis/Orvis, Sage/Sage outfits out there. Any others? Maybe some not as well known?

(I suppose with Chris' new arrangement with Kineya, a Barclay/Barclay pairing is now feasible?)

I do know, that it is at least *possible*, for example, that there is a Kineya/Kineya pairing out there in someone's collection. I personally handled Mass's beautiful glass build at a gathering in the Catskills quite a few years back. I dont think hes made many glass rods, and that one might have been the only.

Any like that out there? Would love to see pics!

Ill get the thread going with a few of my favorite matched pairings, by Tiemco.
Here are two Bushmater rods with Oracle reels. Truly a match made in heaven...

Tiemco 'BushMaster' 6'6" #4 3/1 with Tiemco 'Oracle Baby' 2-7/8"
Tiemco 'BushMaster' 5'9" #3 3/1 with Tiemco 'Oracle Midge' 2-5/8"
