We were Fisher dealers to the end.
The Fisher GT-40 in my opinion was the high point of Fishers graphite rod production.

Amongst the most popular were the Fisher " Original " that was often sold with either an all aluminum reel seat or an aluminum seat with a hardwood insert. The two models were separated by around $25.00. ( $160-ish compared to $185.00-ish )
My wife, who could have had any rod from our inventory just for the asking, that Sage, Winston, Orvis, Scott, Loomis or Powell were building at the time, choose a Fisher Original 9' - 3 / 4 weight with a walnut insert as her primary spring creek rod and continued to use it for many years. Much to my chagrin.
　
The Presidential. An upscale rod that could be ordered with interchangeable pieces, offering multiple length and weight configuration in a single rod package.

Best, Dave
