Kirk,
I'll keep it in mind. Might be a good excuse to see what we can find either out your way or mine. I am not hurrying to sell the rod. I also have reels and line if you're interested.

As for hibernation mode, I find myself thinking more and more about getting out fishing. Might even do the Deerfield in the next week or two with Josko if our schedules line up.
