Naw if I find a hidden jewel I usually spill the beans, they are just to good to not share with your friends, my recent introduction to the H & I 1200 is a good example. Ive been watching them or for them for years, all of a sudden half a dozen have poped up on ebay recently. Think I picked up the first two luckily. They were I think the first Glass UL flyrods ever being introduced in 1953. A true 3wt with a DT and awsome with a WF4wt, I have no idea what kind of fly lines they were built for in 1953. But I opened the bag here in this forum, and Ive seen a couple of members pick them up with similiar reports back about them. So Im glad I let the cat out of the bag, I would prefer seeing our glasshead members pick everyone of them up before they start leaving the country forever.
The little Harnell 1800 and Phillipson mighty light are two other examples of glass lightweights that are little talked about and yet predate most of the stuff put out in the late 60s and 70s when we talk about glass rods. I hope our members pick up every one of the little jewels.
