    I have an old South Bend Fiberglass 9 weight, 2 piece, 9 foot fly rod. I use it for fishing Tiger Muskies. I estimate the rod was made in the early 1950's. It is a good casting fly rod, and really can take the stress of a 45 inch Tiger Muskie.

    I have an Eagle Claw Featherlight, one of the yellow ones. Its nothing special in the pantheon of fly rods but I enjoy fishing it.

    I also have the original fly rod that started all the trouble for me, an old Shakespeare glass rod from 1968 (at least this is when my parents gave it to me) The numbers are all rubbed off and the cork is pretty roughed up but it still fishes. Best I can tell its a five or six weight. Have not fished it a lot at all lately.
