Wanted - St Croix fly rod

Dave,

Thanks for the "lead" for my friend. I have "copied" and forwarded your info to my friend and hopefully, he will find what he is looking for. Thanks for the help.....

Can someone tell me the significance of Pre IPC..... I know it stands for Integrated poly curve is that good or bad?

Personally I find the 2 piece pre-IPC rods to be slightly faster than the IPC rods. I also prefer the guides on the pre-IPC rods- they seem larger. I know I have less problems casting the pre_IPC rods than those that came later. Ron

And I actually prefer the IPC rods, at least in the lower weight. Personal preference I suppose. On a semi-related note. The 8 weight Imperial (new version) is very close in feel to the old pre IPC LU 8 weight.

Warren is this friend Mr Jackson? if so tell him I said hey and I still tie on the Barracuda he sold me and I love it.

Carp,

No, it is not Don. The gentleman is a member here on FAOL and I hope he has checked out the leads that you all have provided.

Don is in Florida, again, fishing the salt which he loves. Last I talked to him he was thinking strongly about purchasing a home in Florida to use when he goes down and keep his boat there which would save on him towing it down and back each time he makes a trip. He has been pretty busy building saltwater fly rods for another gentleman in Florida that has a business and also sells saltwater fly rods. Don is a very good friend and a good guy. I will be sure to let him know that you are still using the vise and that you said "Hi".
