So true! It's why I started making rods, I could not afford to buy a classic of good quality. I started commercial sales after making 50 or so rods I gave away or nearly gave away. I LOVE the Garrison and Dickerson tapers. The most requested tapers are the 8013 or 8014 Dickerson and the 209E Garrison. Also the 7613 and 7614 Dickerson are quite popular too. I fish nearly everything with a 8013 I made a few years ago. I flame them hard, they are fairly light for bamboo and pretty quick for bamboo. It's just another sickness and illness!
Was looking at the internal fitting of a Parker last week, I swear they fit the internals as carefully as they outside! Those guys were really craftsman. Jerry
