The pix are over on the UL forum under Fishing Reports, Jerry's Pond. I will try to get them posted over here as well. First glass redo for me. Don

The glass casts a lot farther, but the cane is about a 4 weight, and the Sears a 6. The original 5 snake guides [snake guide as stripper] were replaced with 7 snakes and the boat guide stripper in the picture. I did not attempt to touch up the decal. It was in pretty fair condition so I retained it, covering it with multiple coats of Arm-R-Seal to preserve it. The grip was sized down and sealed. Thanks Pearow for selling me the factory rod. Don

Now, exactly where is this pond? If fish like that were handy to me, I think my trips to the mountains would get severly curtailed. Bob

I'd wondered about the utility of a 6'6" rod until I got one--Wonderod in my case--and they do quite well. "Everything's better when wet...." Steve Miller Band

They also jump clear of the water, something I have never seen before. The location is a closely held secret. I fish cane under 7' for the most part, so I am quite pleased with the 6'6" Sears. That is a Martin MG3, by the way. Don
