G-man
I told you not to sleep on those older painted series Phillipson’s
Glad you took my advice
So Rad you scored a Tc76
Your rod looks like a cream puff .
Vtsalmon26 has Tc76 with a sweet Red Bronson Multi-Royal 380.. It’s beautiful!!
His is the early version with white tipping and trim bands like my Tc86 HCH/7wt
Will Throw just about any 6/7/8 line …
Glad to hear the 406 DT6 is playing nice !
I like my 8.6 with a short head WF7 floating line to pitch hoppers and poppers (no droppers) Into small pockets for lunker gills
My Tc86 still has most of its original Phillipson Factory Price Tag intact . $12.95
Oh and the Tc86 can micro-fish like a champ
Big rod tiny fish !
G-man you and I both know who the real Micro-Fish Chief is ..
LoL
The Chieftain’s were available from 56-59
The white trimmed most likely being 56-57
While the Black trimmed ones like yours coming in 58-59
Here’s my Super Minty Black Trimmed Tc80
The Tc80 still has its price tag but the printing has worn off.
G-man ..
Did you actually use a Bobber on a Phillipson Fly Rod????
Your Better than that!!
LoL Jk
True confession..
I used a fish pimp bobber once on my Phillipson Scout TS86 ..
I caught a few fish but it sucked the “soul” out of the whole experience..
I kept thinking Bill Phillipson may not approve of that sort of thing with his fly rods .
His spinning and casting rods … well that’s another story..
Hope to see the Chief get out and about again.
Can’t freakin wait til you “Bust Out” with the Macy’s rod !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so jealous
Oh and I almost forgot..
Hersh , definitely get yourself a few Lively Legz
They are our lil East Coast Secret weapons.
Shhhh !!! Tell Everybody lol
Appalachian’s Worst kept secret!!
