Ibooke, it's easily found with a search. I decided not to link it because, well, it's good, but more of an advertisement than an article, vastly overstating all about "modern" fiberglass, as if it were invented in the new age. The rods mentioned are certainly good ones; I just don't care for the approach that discards the old to proclaim the new, especially when some of the old is still a benchmark for the new.
I wish more of the current makers would be unabashed in touting the "old" technology because that is what it is, and that is what makes it, with incremental refinements, good today. Hard to believe, but I guess it's possible that some of the new makers haven't examined and fished the great rods of the heyday. They would make even better rods if they gave the "old" ones their due.
