I would love to own a nice English SxS 20 ga with side etchings and gold inlay and a nice walnut case. I myself cannot justify spending that much money on a rod. Although, I am in the process of buying a Powell 9' 13wt with reel for $500 and having to do that by payments. I can't wait until I finally get it paid off. Hopefully before my trip to New England for Spring Break. Going to try my hand at salt water.
Sorry for rambling. I didn't mean to get this thread off track.
