Anyone got any good hints/tips on where (on-line preferably) to learn a little more about hardware (guides, grips, etc) used on rods from a while back?

Anyone know if the Whiting 100's are discounted? I haven't received a new catalog.
BTW, I make all my H&H purchases online.
Does anyone know if the new management is also doing the...
It seems to me that H&H used to have ALL online purchases discounted and with free shipping and said discount was very obvious for each item.

I'd be interested as well in 1 or 2 rods. Would be hard for me to swing 6.
I have not been disappointed with my Redington GD 7/8.
They have discontinued it and followed it up with the CD series. I imagine it is just as good or better. MSRP is $139.

Not that it's too significant but is casting distance normally measured from:
1. Angler to fly?
2. Rod tip to fly?
3. Angler to end of fly line?
4. Rod tip to end of fly line?
I know that when it came to shotshell pellets it used to be the number of pellets that come from 1 lb. of lead (i.e. 1lb would yield 6 pellets of #6, or 8 pellets of the smaller #8)

Do any of the videos show how to do simple trim wraps? All the online info I've seen doesn't seem to help and I guess I need to "see" someone do it a few times.
I'm looking at that soft plastic and thinking to my self:
