That will be OK. I can have someone pick them up and I will send you a check. Maybe I'll take a day and wet a line looking for a couple shad. I'll send you a check, what's your address. Let me know when you drop them off.

hwchubb, not bragging or gloating, just fast fingers on the keys this time. I'm usually slow to read posts and even slower to respond.

Today I came across a Browning Siaflex 7 1/2' 5 wt. Remember those.
I get a few people that come into the store (Sportsman's Warehouse) and wanting to know if I would be interested in buying rods and reels. I see a number of Pfugger's in the 1492 and 1494 models. I just bought a 1492 brand new still in the original box.
My wife keeps asking me whet the hell will I do with all this fishing equipment and fly tying materials when you die. Well, you can have it cremated with me or sell it on FB market place.
I'm hoping I have 10 more years in this old body.

Browning 'Silaflex' were a top of the line fiberglass rod back in the day.


I just sold a 7' one piece spinning rod that here in the Sacramento river ~50 years ago was the "Killer" Striper spinning rod for fishing

cut fresh sardine with a sliding weight system. It had a very soft sensitive tip and strong butt.

Another competitor ~50 years ago to the Fenwick Feralite rods was the Berkeley "Parametric" fiberglass fly rod series.

I had an 8 1/2' #6 in 2 piece and a 9'3" #9 in 2 piece. They had the new spigot ferrule system.

Bill, are you going to be in CA towards the end of this month. I'm going to try and hook up with Charlie Gonzales to do a little shad fishing. I can pick them up from you or you can leave them at the shop and I'll try to have a couple friends pick them up for me..
I'm ready to send you a check, need you address
