Here's the rod with the little medalist.
Rod in action
The first trout on the rod! A real nice one for this stream (then again, all brookies are nice)
We spend a week every year at my in-laws camp on South Pond in Stark, NH. There are about a half dozen old hardware store glass rods laying around. I decided to take out "Ole Red" to pick on some smallmouth. The rod is an 8' Berkley Spartan, that casts a 5wt nicely. It was my wife's when she was a kid. There are also an identical blue and gray one in the camp. It's a noodle, it's heavy, but it cast's nicely and has lots of sentimental value. It worked fine with this little smallie.
Thanks for looking
Jeff
