Fishingjunky15 Spawner Registered: 03/22/03 Posts: 874 Loc: Puyallup, WA	A few years ago I inherrited an old fly rod. It was my first rod and I have been using it for trout ever since. I started to wonder what weight the rod was tody while floating around on Cady Lake since it seems very light and very sensitive. After doing a quick search, I figured out that it is a very old company that has alot of vintage rods and reels but I could not find anthing on my rod. It's a Horrocks - Ibbotson Co. Mohawk Tubular Fibre Glass No. 1408. Does any one have any info on this rod and company or know where I can find some info? The picture is bad but it is the rod in my avatar. _________________________ They say that the man that gets a Ph.D. is the smart one.

Or, I hit it quite frequently, and could ask for you.
