I have around 20 vintage glass rods. You can find them at yard sales or online cheap if you're patient .
My first "good" fly rod was a Lamiglas that my father built for me in 1972 and I didn't get my first graphite trout rod until well into the '90s so glass rods have been what I fished pretty much all my life
Phillipsons are probably my favorite, but a Cortland built on a StCroix blank is the rod that's been getting the most use lately
