A new acquisition that I picked up a couple days ago at a local 2ndhand/antique store for $35. I just couldnt pass it up. The rod came with a Martin 67A that was crammed with Cortland 444 WF8F. Both reel/line and rod were pretty dirty and dusty but everything looked functional, nothing broken. Inspected and cleaned the rod, everything looked good, stripped and cleaned the reel and changed it to Rt hand retrieve, the line cleaned up well and is still supple but I will use it on a bigger reel (pflueger 1495 1/2) and load either a 5 or 6 wt on the Martin to use on another rod.

Did a search on the forum and it appears that the 1088S, the S stands for slow action. I hope to cast the rod out on the water soon. Will try the Cortland line and I have an 8wt WF steelhead line to try also. Too bad steelhead season is shut down due to poor runs. Bruce
