Last night, in my garage, I found a nasty, dirty PVC tube with caps on it. I did not give it any thought and contemplated tossing it. I have been in the lumber business for over 20 years and I have accumulated lots of 'stuff'.
The tube did not rattle, so I thought it was empty. For some reason I opened it and there was a rod in it. I pulled it out and stared at it for about a minute. It was a Kunnan Advantage fly rod... 7'6" for a 5/6 weight... and BRAND NEW with plastic still on the grip!!!
My very first fishing rod was a Kunnan and I have always been looking for another. I heard that their factory burned down many years ago and they did not rebuild. A few people over the years have told me that Kunnan's are collectors items and there are some die hard fans still out there. I have no earthly idea where this rod came from but I felt like a little kid a Christmas. Even though the rod might suck and be worth nothing, it sure brought back some very good memories.
Does anyone have any more info on Kunnan rods or does anyone else have or used to have Kunnan's?
