For you nostalgia buffs

Rick's Rods got hold of a boatload of old fiberglass blanks. They are Trevarno glass, wich is a first generation fiberglass. Sometimes you hear it called tobacco glass. They are more akin to cane than graphite because of the weight and ferrules. He's seling them for something like $50 a piece but will go much lower if you want a thousand or so. I've got a couple of them and enjoy fishing with them. I'd suggest a length of 8' or shorter because of the weight.
