Cortland Rods

[countrygent36]

Any one ever hear of a Cortland FR-2000? Looks like an older version of a glass rod maybe?

Heard of them. They are fiberglass. Seen a few 7? ft ones for sale on e-bay.

Nothing wrong with a fiber-glass fly rod, I own one, and like it.

Traditionally, fiber-glass fly rods mimic the characteristics of a split-cane fly rod, and weight about the same as a split-cane fly rod. They both cast very much similar to each other also.

I also own a Split-Cane Fly Rod in the same weight and lenght as the Fiber-glass rod. The only difference is that the Split-cane is a 3 peice, while the Fiber-glass is a 2 piece rod.

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too
"Swim" said the mama fishie, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

I've had a couple of them. They are nice casting rods if you like glass as I do.

I know there are knowledgeable folks here, but I would post your question on here as well. [url=http://p097.ezboard.com/bfiberglassflyrodders:fb65a]http://p097.ezboard.com/bfiberglassflyrodders[/url:fb65a]

These guys eat live and breath fishing fiberglass fly rods. Also when I get home this evening I'll look in Johnson's book to see if I can find anything on your rod in there.

Thanks folks for the info. I found this rod in the back of a rack at an old fly shop. Just wondering what it was before I buy it. Theres two or three there for a reasonable price too. Might have to buy and "start" 'em all. LOL
