As I have written about before, my buddies Peter and Greg (Driftless here on the Forum) like to come over to cast some glass in the yard outside my office. In the 5 years we have been getting together, we have never had nice weather, but today the forecast was for mid-60s (unheard of here in MN in November) and light winds, so we decided to do one last casting session before the horrible Minnesota winter arrives. It was epic!

We had a total of 15-20 rods between the three of us, and they were all sweet!
If I can recall correctly, we had these rods:
7'9" 4wt Paddock Lemon Drop
7'6" 6wt Orvis FullFlex A
7' 4wt Barclay Progressive Series
7' 6wt Fenwick FF70
7'6" 6wt Lamiglas
7'6" 4/5wt Lamiglas Brush Creek Companion that Greg fixed for me after it was crushed in transit
7' 5wt Wright & McGill Water Seal
7' 4wt Vince Cummings Superlite
7'5" 4wt Barclay 75P
7'7" 4wt Tiemco Glass Master
8' 4wt Unstructured Glass
7'10" 5wt Barclay Progressive Series
8' 5wt GlasTech
8'3" 5wt L. Kenney
7'9' 4wt McFarland Dirty Martini which I didn't actually take out of the tube...
Two bamboo rods, I think they were a 7'6" 4wt and an 8' 5wt, but you would have to ask Peter and Greg to make sure...
Here are some rod pics:
