I have gone glass also. I recently have acquired a 6'6" 5wt custom Phillipson that is probably the sweetest casting rod I have ever used. Also a Wright and McGill Sweetheart 71/2 ft 5 wt restored, and my latest is a Vince Cummings custom Fenwick 7 1/2 ft 5 wt. I certainly have enjoyed fishing glass this year and it sure waxes nostalgia from the time I was a kid. Yes sir, glass has class.
