A bit off subject, but.

I have some 1983 Fenglas rods, 6-1/2 footers in casting and spinning models that I still use.

I took them in a partial trade when I photographed Fenwick rod designer Jimmy Green for the Fenwick Catalog cover back then.

Last year I took them to Greg's Custom rods (sp?) in Lake Stevens and had then cut into four sections from the two they were originally so they would fit into my airline carry-on or checked baggage.

Greg fitted them with metal ferrals and they have been great for jigging and casting on my trips to B.C. and Alaska the past two summers.
