Under $300?...that's easy...

A mint condition/barely used Orvis Superfine Henry's Fork...to match my Far-and-Fine. It's the only Graghite rod I have any desire to buy.

Or the new Fenglass 7'9" 6wt....$249 I believe?

I would like a new Orvis Superfine glass 8'5wt. I could buy it now, but I can't justify it with 3 other 5wt glass rods sitting here. But for free....I would grab it.....$395?

Why?.....two reasons.

I think the old Superfines are the nicest casting Graghite rods on the planet....and I like shorter glass rods.

And personally.....aside from a custom made Boo? I don't feel there is a fly rod out there that justifies $500...let alone more. Just my opinion though.
