[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Just about every fisherperson has a rod or two that is no longer being used. Perhaps originally you bought an inexpensive rod not being sure that fly-fishing was going to be your game. Later [after being hooked –lol] you invested in some better equipment. Tackle shops are not known to take trade-ins like cars, cameras, guns etc. Goodwill or the Salvation Army are not likely places to donate them. Just by chance I came across this ad by the Orvis people. Thought that I would share this info with you all.[/size][/green][/font]
