The “Old Philosopher” has arrived in the hands of the “sometime Instructor of Philosophy.” It is, without a doubt, the most beautiful rod I have ever seen. Lawn casting the “semi-parabolic” action isn’t a problem (some warn of the “difficulty”). Indeed, it casts beautifully at all ranges (using Cortland “Peach” DT until the “longbelly” spool gets here). My only problem is going to be mustering the courage to actually fish something so beautiful; don’t worry I WILL and probably nothing else for a LONG time. My congratulations, George, on creating something so exquisitely lovely and yet so supremely functional.
Thanks,
