I love pics of fishing rods. I've looked through pics on this site for hours. And docbluedevil, what happened to the blue devils? I really needed them to win last night. I was the only one in my bracket who picked them to win. Coach K for president.

Thanks. I've been stalking the site for awhile. I don't own a glass rod yet. I'm trying to learn a few things. I'm with you on the blue devils. They need a big man and a legitimate point. Been a big fan for a long time.

I think I want a "modern" glass, but new ones tend to be more than I really want to pay for one. I've been eyeballing the 6-piece lami in the For Sale thread since it went up, but can't decide if I really want to do all of that wrapping. I'm really pretty clueless though. I come from the world of baitcasting, so slowing down enough to cast a fiberglass rod seems like it will be quite a challenge for me. I've been flyfishing for a few years though. I just bought a boo rod earlier this week. Don called it a Franken-boo (2-pieces from a 3 piece rod). Don't tell any of the Classic Rod guys about that. I thought it would be a good place to start with a bamboo rod. If I don't like it, I at least didn't spend $1,000 for one. But back to glass. I think I want something very slow.

I like shorter/lighter rods. 6-7.5 feet. 4 wt or under. I fish for gills on a flyrod mostly, so I don't need anything too big. hook the occasional bass or catfish, but targeting gills.
