[VFB] Re: i souldn'ta done it
Reuven, here's the answer to your question, put public, in the hopes that someone may learn something. Ron Reinhold would sell them whenever he had a certain number put aside. And he ALWAYS had a waiting line, big time. i got a couple of them one time and one time only. It was a tricky kinna deal.cause you had to call him, to make sure you were not gonna be forget.but as everybody who ever dealt with Ron knows.once you got him on the phone.you could not get him off the phone. He's one of those people who will keep talkin' til you hang up. LMAO.course he is always so interesting to talk toyou really don't mindbut three hours later you may have had something you hadda do, lmao. i only started buying/collecting/whatever, blind eye hooks about 6 years ago, and Ron sold out to Ronn (Lucas Sr.), but 4 years ago. So the Master Ron Reinhold was outta the picture not that long after i got into it. Ronn Lucas went and spent time with Ron Rienhold at his house in Michigan, (Lucas lives in Oregon) and learned from the Master himself. Ron taught Ronn everything he could over a few weeks i think it was.and Ronn bought everything Ronn had, EXCEPT his antique hook collection. For a while the antigue collection was up for sale in it's entirety for $10K.but inevitably it got sold off peace meal to a whole lotta different people. i got to see the entire thing when Ronn brought it with him to show us in Cleveland at the Atlantic Salmon Fly Tying/Steelhead Fly Fishing Symposium that was held there bout 4 times over the course of bout a 6 years period. They've never held it again since that year i went in 2004. It happend a couple years in a row and then a couple more times with time in between times.it was Cool. A half dozen or so, of the best in the world would come and teach and you took classes. And there was a dinner and an auctionhehehehehehe. It was at the Natural History Museum in Cleveland. As far as i know.all the so-called rejects are in the hands of tyers at this point in time.and i would think that they have all been dressed by now. Since they were inexpensive, i'm sure they've all been used up. "Most" serious (Atlantic) Salmon fly tyers go thru a process of "chopping' their flies while they get to a certain level.in other words reusing hooks over and over again, to save money until they feel that they can consistantly dress a fly to the point where they no longer need to just simply "practice." Or until they can afford hooks in numbers. And there are those very highly qualified Salmon fly tyes who never do really get into using the best hooks. Those are rare though, and i would believe that its just cause they're CHEAP! LMAO.. Personally i never chop a fly.i mean i havebut that was when it was just such a piece of crap when it was finished...blah blah blah...it's only happen less times than i could count on one hand. Not that MOST of my flies aren't horrible in my eyes...they are.but i just don't believe in choppin' flies OR being cheap, lol. A fly is a performancelive with itDEAL.."get over it." .You dig? > Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:34:48 +1100 > From: reuven_se...@iprimus.com.au > To: markflie...@hotmail.com > Subject: Re: [VFB] i souldn'ta done it > > Hi Mark: > > Just out of curiousity, you mentioned that some hooks were once sold off > for $5 (rejects) for a couple of years.
