Thanks Dan,

As I said when I left in a hurry this morning, I came out on the good end of the deal. Thought you might back out. Best feeling rod I ever cast, only wish I could talk you out of the Hardy. :) :) :) :) :) TRW (Bought a Cane from Cascapedia this AM.)

Watkins,

Congrats on your new rod! I too am a huge fan of Orvis impregated bamboo! I think an Orvis Battenkill rod is one of the great classic era bamboo rod bargains out there.
