Parkers and fly rods, eh? You have definitely come to the right place here Jim! Please show us pics of the Parker and the fly rods, especially if they're cane.

I'll attempt to post a few pics. At one time I assembled all of my fly rods from blanks. Several years ago, while vacationing in Canada I walked into a fly shop that had the most beautiful rods that I have ever seen. When asked who made the rods, the answer, "I make them" came from an elderly man with a thick scottish accent. I ordered one on the spot and have ordered 8 more over the years. All of my rods are built on Sage blanks and the unique things about the rods are that the handles are wood, they have outstanding thread art and they are less expensive than the same rod from the manufacturer. The handles are of the full wells style and at first I thought that they would be slippery when wet, but it is not the case. Unfortunately, the man retired and I'll go back to assembling rods as needed.
