I started using silk on the rods I made years ago, many Ebay purchases, cleaned the lines, revarnished, $50.00 or so, then bought 4 of the Phoenix silk lines, really nice lines. I just can't go back to poly lines or poly rods. I probably have more requests from customers for a Dickerson 8013 or Garrison 209E for small/mid streams than any other rod, and a 8015 Guide Special for steelhead. Those 3 rods I make more than any others by far. When it comes to a 7 1/2 fter, then the Dickerson 7013 or 14 seems to be the most requested. I make and sell about 30 rods a year along withe the repair service on the double guns. It keeps a guy hopping. Jake
