    Mike,

    I'm not sure I understand the question:

    Is this to be my one and only rod, or is this an addition to any rods I already own?

    Allan...whatever you want it to be. Never really thought of it like that.

    5wt Ron Kusse Dark flamed Quad . Signed by Ron .

    Oh Ya , seeing as Mike will be buying it for me I'll get Ron to put some rare encrusted jewels in it to make it pretty . Perhaps the hope diamond in the base for balance .

    I'll take my Gatti FR 905 3PA. It may not have the glomor or the beauty of a cane rod, but in my view it's a lot more pleasant to cast. I'm gettin too old for one of those wooden rods.

    There is a fine line between fly fishing, and standing in the water waving a stick.

    Mike,

    The ones I own right now suit me just fine. But if I really had to choose just one it would be my first flyrod, a glass Shakespeare Presidential I owned in 1959...long gone. Can't remember how or why, but I seem to recollect I gave it to a friend for installing a sink in one of the first homes I owned after I got married.

    Later, RW

    MM,

    I'll repeat what I wrote in a similar thread. I'd like to have the rod that Theodore Gordon considered his favorite. Unfortunately, all the money in the world cannot provide it since it was destroyed by a fire in 1975.

    Allan...has it ever been recreated? Was it a custom rod or a Payne or Leonard and so on?
