Soeffker rods?

#1

Post by creakycane »

Was wondering if anyone is fishing Gary Soeffker rods these days? Collecting or interested?
I had some interesting conversations with the late Gary Siemer about darkly flamed Soeffker rods, which we both thought were under appreciated (at least some of the examples we'd seen/fished/owned). I haven't talked with GS in many years; can't recall if he is still making rods or not. Curious if anyone tuned-in is a fan? Thanks!

I fish his 6'3 3/2 with a swelled butt. I think it is listed as a 2 or 3 wt. I use it for brookies and and bought it because I can throw it in a backpack. You can still see it on vintageflytackle. I believe the late owner of the site mentions on this forum how he put a set one of the tips.
