While we're talking fly rods, I'll share mine with you. I have nothing really fancy except my Orvis Madison bamboo and the thomas & Thomas. I couldn't have afforded either. The orvis Madison was given to me as my retirement gift, included a CFO 4wt reel. Cost $1500. The Thomas & Thomas I won in the local TU raffle a couple years ago. It's custom made by "One Shot Outdoors" of San Antonio has a Tibor reel and cost is $ 900 +. Considerably out of my league. The rest I've picked up here and there.
