Thanks for the great advise from everyone and for the offer on the poles riverdog. I very well may take you up on that in light of my new circumstances. The same day I posted this question I got to my truck that evening to find that someone had broken in and stolen all my fishing gear. EVERYTHING! Even the reels for my boys poles! The only thing they they did leave behind was my 9' 5wt with the top four inches snapped off in the door. I try to sneak out fishing after work so I keep it all in the truck. lesson learned I guess. Let me sort thru the ashes here a little bit and see what the rod manufacturer will do to help me out and I will let you know. Time to rebuild...
