Busted my Wade Cunningham (http://www.waderods.com/) custom 9ft 4wt rod last summer on a 24+ inch rainbow. The rod was about 14 years old. I sent it to Wade who looked at it and said it couldn't be fixed. So he offered me a new custom built rod, same design, for $160. Couldn't pass that up. Sent him the $$ mid-December (Christmas present to me) and should be getting it back soon.

Interested in some effective patterns for small-mouth and pan-fish for western Pa.
