Mr. Castwell has a great column this week on ones the first flyrod. I can relate. My first flyrod was a Wright McGill "Trailmaster pack rod" The reel a Pflueger 1494. I had the good sense to invest in Air Cell WF line. I gave the rod to #2 son who backpacks in Oregon about 15 years ago, he still uses it. I still have the reel and works as good as the day I bought it over 35 years ago. Yes Jim, I broke my 2nd rod, thats another story. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST ROD/REEL?
