Bear with me

I might have posted before on this item; if so, bear with me once more. If you happen to go to the show and are in the market for a good 6 wt. blank be sure and visit Andy Dear's booth. Look through his "trash can" specials for an Allstar IGF-906-2 blank. I recently made a fly rod using this blank thinking to give it as a gift to a relative but after fishing it, I find it a joy to cast. The feeling when this rod loads is superb and the pick up and cast is unbelievable making pin point casting downright easy. I just ran out of adjectives. It truly is a nice rod.

Ellis,
Thanks for the plug....however all of the fly blanks sold last year. This year it's all about the spin, cast and heavier saltwater stuff.

I am a fan of All Star blanks. I did get several from Andy last year. I would reccomend getting some while he still has them avaliable.
