In a recent post, I mention that I had purchased an inexpensive fiberglass fly rod on eBay,
a few years ago. The total cost for the rod was less than twenty dollars.
Well, I was able to locate it. I fished with it in Prospect Park at the lake.
I matched it with the Spanish made Ghost, semi automatic fly reel and a five weight line.
The beauty of glass fly rods is their ability to work well while being "overlined and underlined".
Bloodworm flies
My three piece, 7'6" 3/4 weight No Name fiberglass fly rod.
Close up view of Ghost semi automatic fly reel. It is very much like a Vivarelli semi automatic
fly reel, except for the drag system.
The rod handled the five weight line with ease. Too bad I couldn't locate more fish!
