    These are all great rods you guys, plus you are buying a piece of history that will never be duplicated. I've been using my 8' 3/4/5 Walton Powell fist generation graphite all summer and have fallen in love with it again! - J.

    Thanks Troutstalker. Those early standard graphite Walton rods are sooo sweet in the shorter/lighter configs. I've got a 7' and man is it a nice casting trout rod.

    I've updated the list with a couple more rods as well as added how each rod is labeled.

    Prices dropped. I would like to get these into the hands of folks that will fish them. That is what Walt and Press built them for. They are priced to sell...

    Bump to get over the big mountain today. These are some really great rods and a rare and unique bit of NorCal history. Thanks,

    I'd love to have the Hexagraph, someone needs to buy this rod now!
    Rich, if it doesn't sell, shoot me an e-mail. And, of course, I'm interested in the Toyota too!

    Thanks Don. I sent you a private message. The Hex is available...the Toyota is not...the motor is out so I doubt you'd be interested in it in that condition.

    I've dropped the prices once more to try and move these. It's as low as I'll go...quite a deal on some great rods.

    Prices back up. They are still a little below full retail average on these. I got together the funds for the intial parts buy I needed to get to work on the motor for my truck. This will be the last bump/change...I'll let the thread die now and hang onto any rods that don't sell. Thanks to everyone who picked up a rod.
