Cofisher,
I've got one of those, er, had one of those, well, sorta still do. I had stripped it and made it into a fly only, a bit fast for a 5wt, but crisp and fishable. Was up backpacking in the hills and lost one of the pieces. How do you find a brown stick in the woods?? Anyway, made another piece out of a scrap rod, put spigot ferrels in it and have not used it since. Do you need one for parts??
