ROD REPAIR
It was bound to happen. The fly rod I've had for years now crapped the bed at the butt end. Can't hold a reel now and lower end is loose in cork. It's a real old shakespear fiberglass and I'm not ready to give it up yet. Any rod repair guys out there that might be able to take a look at it to see if its fixable? Also, needed to replace this rod immediately as it broke streamside so I picked one up at one of the local shops along route 5. It was an Echo flyrod (i've never heard of them, but that's not saying much) and nabbed it cause it was the least expensive. Well the tip broke my second time using it and now I'm waiting for a replacement. Guy said it would only be a few days. Can anyone tell me anything about Echo flyrods? May have to trade up if it's not at least a somewhat decent quality fishing rod. thanks
