When I started here and started fly fishing, I started down the path of rod and reel "Collecting" then the rod and reel "Re-finishing". I realized after I had spent a lot of time and some $$ that I was not a collector and not a tech and I just wanted vintage gear to fish. So I have been turning loose of some of the excess and I do not regret it...I have only sold one rod that I fished...the rest have been from the, "Well that is a hard to find rod" or "I could fix or have that fixed" piles and I do not regret them leaving...I regret having bought them with such wild abandon...
