Dudley Got A New Fly Rod Yesterday ...







it is a Wright & McGill "Sweetheart" 8 foot 2A-8 7 weight fly rod. It is a thing of beauty. They don't make them like this any more. This fly rod was mass produced in the good old USA many decades ago. It is in new un fished condition. The orange brown fiberglass blank is beautifully finished with chrome guides wrapped with yellow thread tipped in black. The spiral wraps are really cool. The rod has an old style nickel silver up locking reel seat. Dudley won this rod on eBay for $29.95 which was a steal. The only way to get a comparable new fiberglass fly rod these days would be to have it custom made at a cost of several hundred dollars.
