[black][size 3]Additional memory: When I started fly fishing, I had a metal telescoping rod, with a cranky reel. Later graduated to a bamboo rod. That was a piece of work, required more tender care than a wife. If it wasn't wiped down of moisture when put away, it would warp. then you had to put it over a steam kettle to make it straight. (God bless fiberglass and graphite).[/size][/black]
