    Default Diamondglass blank! You asked for it!

    First of all, you'd better hurry 'cause Betty already bought 2 of 'em!!

    We have a limited supply of the Diamondglass S2 glass made in the Vermont factory. They're a high modulus glass dark gray, almost blank finish. We have 12 of the 6'6" 3 weights, 20 of the 7' 4 weights and 18 of the 7'6" 3 weights. All are 2 piece. They $140 each and include a free Cortland Sylk DT fly line. I'll be sending an email tomorrow morning to about 15,000 customers, but thought I'd give the FAOL folks the first shot! (The Clarks Classic folks will also know.)

    See more specs here: http://shop4.mailordercentral.com/ho...s.asp?dept=961

    And, by the way, maybe you all should think about dropping a hit to the Publisher of FAOL about adding the word "glass" to the description of this forum!

    I'm so excited!! I've built a number of these Glass rods, and they are not only beautiful, they cast like a dream!!! I can't wait!!

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    You mean you really want him to create a 'Lay-Away' plan just for you? He had to pay for these, asked us first if it would be OK to post. We said yes because it would be a service to the guys on here, not a tie up his money while he waits, for maybe, you can afford one.

    Ok Ok. Maybe this'll help. I've $3 shipping back through Monday, but . . . and here's the big butt, if you punch in the key code "FAOL" you'll get an extra 5% discount on everything in the store until Saturday, February 21 at midnight!

    Maybe that'll help some folks. Thanks for the business.

    I built one of the Diamondglass blanks last year and used it for just everything - small browns in the NM mountains, big browns in the Co mountains, and everything in between - terrific rods.

    Default Herefishy thanks

    I know you like the glass rods. It is interesting that Hardy brought the glass rods back for the US market. It's a mixture of glass and carbon. I think it's kind of funny that they priced it $25 less than the Diamondglass rod (finished, not a blank). I like casting these, but, I cannot own or fish a rod I didn't make myself. I'm going to build a 7' 4 weight Diamondglass for myself. I wonder if Cortland will give me the free fly line with mine!
