Rod Quiver Pic Thread

[72Twenty]

I'll start. At the moment, I only have three rods in my garage, but my dad owns like 12 rods and I usually have my pick of any of his to use when I am fishing with him. Here are mine:

Top: Scientific Anglers 9ft 6wt, 2 piece. It is a cheapy and rather stiff, but good for the lakes around here and fighting the wind. It would be my fly rod equivalent to 'rock skis', I guess.

Middle: Fenwick Eagle 8ft 6wt, 2 piece. My dad bought this one for me back in the early 80's as my first rod. It was made back when Fenwicks were made from Sage blanks. It is a nice rod and great for smaller streams. Super easy to cast.

Bottom: Marryat 9ft 5wt, 3 piece. My 'everyday rod; use it most of the time. Great for most applications around my area.

[SKISC]

I have around twenty. All bass rods. Will take pics tomorrow as I get them ready for a tournament. Most are Shimano Chronarch's or Chronarch mg's. They are matched with either an Esox or All Star rod. I have a few older Shimano rods. I like this thread.

The kids behaving nicely. Top to Bottom:

1. 9 wt. Ugly Stick, Pflueger Supreme 1890 reel
2. 6 wt. Lamiglas, Pflueger Trion 1956 reel
3. Old School hand built 7 wt. Conolon Missilite, Pflueger Medalist reel. Older than me.
4. 8 wt. Sage Launch, Sage 1680 LA

And standing up we have "Big Momma". 130 lb rated Lamiglass, Penn 114 HL Special Senator. Whompin Stick.

Nice... your photo is dated 4-20.

[scarz111]

Thats sweet. I did not notice that. I guess I live in the future. Maybe my apartment is a black hole.

[DamRepublican]

being a technical asshole who watches too much discovery channel, I believe a black hole will only allow travel into the past(theoretically), as it bends the space/time continuum around so that you can travel back to a time that is already past, however correct me if I am wrong

[scarz111]

I think my head just exploded. I have no concept of the space/time continuum. Maybe my camera is trying to tell me something.

Dude, 7220... this fishing thing is getting out of control. You've got like, what? 15 fishing threads in 1 week? And now, your rod quiver? What next, your reel bags?

I only have 1 flyrod.

Have you been up to the mile lately?

[Andy_B]

Redington CPS 9' 5wt Lamson Velocity
TFO Pro 7'6" 3wt Hardy Marksman.

[72Twenty]

Is it true that Sage owns Redington now? I thought I heard that somewhere.

[Pow4Brains]

Yup, and the reason (I think) the new rods don't have an "unconditional" replacement warranty I believe, this is also the reason we are seeing the Albrights taking off.

I've got the same old Fenwick Eagle in a 5-6. That has been the most indestructable, bomber piece of equiptment I've ever owned for flyfishing. Its caught anything from black rockfish, to 35 lb kings. I used it on the Kenai one year for reds...I had a bruise on my sternum for weeks after a virtual 20-hour stretch of yarding Kenai sockeye with it. That little rod would just hum at the reel seat like it was going to blow at any moment. I still use it for dredging lakes with full sink. I like the slow action of it...its like the Pocket Rocket of rods (but holds up longer under duress).

2 rods, maybe looking for a 3rd

Sage DS 9ft 8wt w/ lamson reel (light-med inshore duty or bass)

Trying to explain to some non skier co-workers how you can never have too many skis when one says "you mean like fishing rods"...nuf said

That's correct - if you survive spaghettification. And that's a big if.
