Having been an admirer or fiberglass for some time, one of my favorite things about this forum is that I get to look at all sorts of cool fiberglass rod porn
and see lots of rods I've never seen before. While I have rods I like to pull out to show friends that have refined earth-tone wrap colors and blanks in
bambooesque hues, I also have those that I keep a little further inside of my rod closet. The ones that the "traditionalists" of the time I'm
sure disdained. The ones that scream, "I'm fiberglass and I'm funky!" Perhaps you have a few of these rods hidden in the darker recesses of
your closet so the rainbow wraps can't be seen. Perhaps you keep a bright red South Bend hidden in the workshop and only visit it occasionally after one
or two nightcaps. I say, "Don't be ashamed." Proudly parade those ladies on your arm. Don't ever just reserve them for the private pond,
but let them fool all fish species in all locales. Cast them far and cast them fine. For, while it may sound conceited, there is nothing I've enjoyed
more in my fiberglass fishing adventures than having someone look down their nose and down their Sage at my avacado-colored Berkley with the maroon Pfleuger
until they look up to see me playing one they put down. I say, "Be proud, fish loud!" Let your freak-flag fly and post photos of those children of
the rainbow with the garish diamond decorative wraps. Post some photos of your painted ladies. Hide away no more for the truth shall set you free.
