| 2009-10-14 | david | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Joe for the information that you gave. a friend of mine has the rod and it is about a 9 foot rod. |
| 2009-10-13 | Jim | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | J, Thanks for response. I've put them away and am heading out on the road. Can't answer the thoughtfully listed questions. I loaded the 8 foot custom rod built by "Bowen" for my father in 1946 with WF5F and cast with it. It worked like a dream till I double hauled. Now it curves below the first ferrule, and clicks on every cast. I think I delaminated it. I can see a separation about one inch long. I'm putting it away. JCH |

Expertise
I can answer questions on custom rod building and rod restoration and rod repair for bamboo, graphite and fiberglass fishing rods. I also have experience in estimating the value of vintage rods and determining the original manufacturer.
