Although I now have a new TFO Lefty Krey Professional 4wt (and I love it) I do still really enjoy fishing with my old 1960's Shakespear Presidential fiberglass rod with a simple Pfluger Medalist reel on it.

I fished all of last year and most of this year with that rod. 'Glass does have a particular feel about it. And casting a classic glass rod does make me feel a connection to the past.
