Dries. Droppers. Streamers. Very versatile, the 3 peice 5wt let you adjust to a variety of fishing conditions without changing rods. 8'6" "Joan Wulff Favorite"

Great Rod! Only a year old and comes with a serial number for each section. No issues with the rod. Comes with hard shell Case and sock. Great Buy

I am in Seattle for the next week and half and would like to do an in-person exchange.

Asking $350.00 or OBO! Make an offer and lets see what can happen!

Is your rod still for sale? Any blemishes? Pictures?

Thanks.

Great rod IMO. Many "Winston guys" think this particular rod (8'6" WT 5wt) is the greatest piece of graphite ever crafted. It won't throw 70' well but has amazing feel at "trout" distances (30' to 60'). My favorite dry fly rod.
I do not know seller.
Beware of this seller in the future, I purchased this rod and it is in horrible condition, major scratches into the blank, seat is hammered, etc. He lied to me and told me it was in great condition. He will not refund my money even if I paid to ship it back to him. Just an FYI.
I think we need some sort of feedback rating system like eBay. That way we know what type of person we are dealing with. Too many negatives and you are out. My biggest worry on this site is if I purchase something, I will get burned.

Hear hear!
What about leaving negative visitor messages for people who are bad sellers? Also you can leave a mail fraud complaint w/ the USPS - not that anything will come of it though.
I have rarely been misled on any of these sites and the sellers and buyers are almost always honest people by a very great margin.
But, I guess the old saying, buyer beware.
I think we should implement a 3 day inspection policy that has to be granted to each and every buyer. If not adheared to you get kick out of the forum.

This is my first bad experience on this site and I have bought and sold a bunch of stuff. I just wanted to give you guys a head's up if he tried to sell something again.
