Since the stock market is supposed to totally crash soon these iconic EC Powell split cane fly rods would be a good investment.

They are Made in the USA and Made in Northern California by EC Powell.


Over my 50 plus years in the fishing tackle business in Sacramento, I saw virtually thousands of old split cane fly rods.

90% were not worth much but the 10% were amazing.


Rich is the leading authority, who is still alive, on all Powell fishing rods.
