Time sure flies when you're having fun. Thanks for resurrecting this thread. Is Winston even still producing cane rods anymore?

In reference to one of the museum photos :

Found myself a unique Winston fiberglass rod - one which is probably pretty old (museum photo dates rod to 1955)
To prove they existed - 4 piece glass by RL Winston.

The rod can be seen on the glass site : https://fiberglassflyrodders.com/forum/ ... ead#unread
