New Banner for the Tying Room

Two years ago I bought my first glass rod, an Eagle Claw Featherlight, and haven't looked back.  If you are interested and missed it, you can read about it here.  I love glass.  I love the colors it comes in, the action it provides and feel of a fish on the end of the rod.  If you haven't tried some glass, I highly encourage you to do so.  Even if its a $30.00 rod, I know you will not be disappointed.  A while back I attended a fishing function in which I talked about glass rods.  It was funny how a couple (husband and wife) told me they knew all about glass because they bought a glass rod for their granddaughter to try out.  Their look of contempt and the disdain dripping from their words reminded me of some purists when I tell them I fly fish mostly for panfish and bass.  I understand that glass isn't for everyone.  I only ask that before you formulate an opinion about it, that you get out and try it.  There has been a lot of talk about glass recently and all the new rods arriving on the market.  Orvis has launched their glass line and I believe Echo has some coming out soon.  Last year Redington came out with the butter stick.   There are plenty of options to choose from and a price to fit in everyone's budget.  Slowly but surely, I am making the switch to all glass rods.  Therefore it was only fitting that I got a banner from Cameron over at TFM.  I finally got my banner up on the wall.  Time to represent.  Glass is not dead!
