novisor12 that's a cool group of rods. I've always been a fan of vintage Scott glass and it's no surprise Kenney's glass is every bit as cool as the old Scotts.

Carlz,
Happy to help. So.....What rods are you selling?

I would be interested to hear your impressions of your ff84 vs your Claudio 8’6” 5wt!

+1 on this!

Brockton, do you have a picture of your 686 with a reel on it?

Half the jokes on the Forum concern husband's hiding the size of their fly-rod collections from their wives. I'm really curious. Does it ever happen the other way around? Are their wives so crazy about fly rods they hide their collections from their husbands? We know more and more women are getting into fly fishing, so it seems there must be some who have become rod freaks, but I've never heard of any. For that matter, how many women are members of this Forum? You'd think women would love fiberglass rods, with their sensitivity (I'm not joking here), and their beautiful aesthetics.

A supporting wife is a treasure. Your neighbor: she has a hoard, I'd bet.

In general, I don't expect anyone to 'self identify' if they don't wish. There are no questions about gender or age in the registration process. Any 'identification' that members may include in their posts is completely optional.

That also means I cannot verify members are who they claim. Some past members were banned for scamming us. Now any posts along the lines of 'Go Fund Me' or other donation requests get deleted. Sorry.

The exception is members that sell fishing related merchandise. If they wish to promote their products here, I expect they will let me know. I will add them to the Commercial Members group. Commercial members may start new threads in the What's New in the Market forum (and can use a signature block with their website address). I do expect commercial members not to start online brawls - that doesn't do anyone any good.

Hey folks,

New guy here. I am waiting eagerly on a Barclay 64p I purchased from a gentleman on WFF. I also have a few other rods.

Barclay 64p (pending, and dear God please hurry up and get here before I die of excitement)

Barclay built Ijuin 703 3 weight.

Thomas & Thomas LPS 864.

Howells 3 1/4oz. 7.5ft 5 weight bamboo.

I know they aren’t all glass but thats my notable collection. I also have some random cheap rods including a Cortland that I learned to fish with my dad when I was about 10 (probably my favorite for it’s sentimental value)
