"I have one nice fly rod. It was made by a company called Talon. They were only in business for a couple of years so the rod may be some kind of a collector's item. Again, I don't fish with it much, just because I don't fish with flies much. But when I do, I use the rod and it does just fine. Why the Talon rod company went out of business, I don't know."
