Jim - you might look at a W.W. Grigg "Custom Made" rod.I found one (4-piece, 9 wt) in a close out sale last Jan. for $80.00. It's a fast tip but I've come to like it and it's my rod of choice with big fuzzy flies (2 to 8) and/or windy beachs. Outdoor Emporium in Seattle carries them and Okuma reels.
As for the wife - if new dresses can be "this old thing" one week after purchase, but before you've seen it, why doesn't it apply to fly rods, shotguns, gear, etc. "I wore this at Joe and Mary's Christmas Party last year", worked fine until I realized that the conversation took place in early Jan. :HMMM
Good Luck, bart
