From time to time we will offer vintage and used fly fishing tackle. Please check back often for new additions. We are always interested in purchasing or taking consignments of used cane rods, but visitors please take note: we do not provide free tackle appraisals! Because the value of any fishing collectible is largely based on condition, and because researching values is so time consuming, we can not offer free, sight-unseen tackle appraisals. If you'd like us to appraise your tackle for a fee, please contact us for more information and we'd be happy to assist you. If you've arrived here via a search engine because you've found an old piece of tackle and hope to learn its value, we are very sorry but we are unable to help you without seeing the tackle and charging a fee. Thanks!
Additional Note: All items are covered by our 3-day return policy. The customer can inspect or lawn cast any item for up to 3 days after receipt. If you receive an item and wish to return it, you will receive a full refund provided it's returned promptly in the condition it was sent. All returned items must be insured for the purchase price and packed appropriately. Please contact us before returning any item.
We keep our consignment rates low to help you save money. The single best way for you to decide on an item is to send us a check for it and inspect it yourself. We do everything possible to describe items fairly...it does us no good to send you an item that you will only want to return. Let us know if we can provide additional pictures or if you'd like to make an offer via email.

Leonard Model 38H: 7', 2p. 2t. for DT4 line. This 38H is in near-mint condition featuring blond cane w/Leonard 3x3 node spacing, polished nickel silver downlocking cap and ring seat w/varnished butternut spacer terminating in a 6" cigar grip, fawn wraps tipped olive, Leonard step down ferrules, size 11, serial number 1478. This rod has been with the original owner since it was custom-made for him in 1973(The reel seat slide band was factory engraved with the owner's initials), and has been very lightly fished with only a slight amount of grip soiling as evidence. The 38H is one of the most popular and enduring light trout rods ever made, and casts a DT4 line with delicacy yet authority. All sections full-length, ferrules fit with silky smoothness and are easily aligned with the present witness marks. Shortly after taking delivery on this rod, the owner had an unfortunate mishap involving one tip, so the fine folks at Leonard made him a duplicate numbered tip, which accounts for the slight difference in color of the guides between the two tips and the color of the ferrule wrap. In original yellow poplin bag and brass-capped aluminum tube sans label and hang tag, this rod is a gem in near-mint condition. Straight, tight and classic! $2,450
J.D. Wagner Patriot Series 6'3" 3-4 wt, 2p, 1t. This rod was custom-made and labeled "Centre County, PA" and is in mint condition. The only sign it was ever even cast is a slight cracking at the varnish on the ferrules, otherwise mint. This is our best-selling small stream taper, having a delicate yet powerful feel for DT3 or DT5 lines. Short length keeps your rod tip out of the brush. With deeply flamed cane, forest green color-preserved silk, oxidized Super Z ferrules and nickel silver pocketed butt cap and ring....all the bells and whistles of our very popular Patriot Series rods, which run $845 new. This one, $699. With bag. Case showing some normal wear.
J.D. Wagner Presentation Series Custom 3 p, 2t 5 wt.. Flamed cane, my favorite silk color scheme: olive fine silk tipped black extremely delicate 3 wrap intermediates and signature wrap, forest green silk at ferrules, U/L Venerri nickel silver screw lock with a gorgeouse varnished bird's eye maple spacer, hard chrome guides and fully engraved nickel silver ferrules and reel seat hardware in rose and scroll pattern! Mortised butt section in matching bird's eye maple. This rod was a killer to make! The customer supplied his own bird's eye for this commission, and each time I tried to cut the featherlike splices, I'd get down to the last pass before they'd blow out when the cutters hit a bird's eye. Over and over I made the splices until they came out immaculate. With bag and case, a new one would currently run $3,745...that's assuming I would do it again in bird's eye, but I never will, having learned my lesson the hard way! In great shape, sparsely fished and well-tended. $3,500.
J. D. Wagner Model 250BC Light Baitcasting Rod: Custom made for the owner of the rod above to fish for crappies and small bass. This 5', 2p, 2t. light action rod features all the bells and whistles of our Signature Series rods plus more: mirror matched tips, richly flamed cane, wraps delicately tipped in black, agate tip tops, black titanium guides, downlocking nickel silver Venerri reel seat witha mind blowing burl wood impregnated spacer terminating in the retaining hood under the 5" grip, 'onion foregrip', nickel silver end plate on grip, oxidized super Z ferrules, bamboo ferrule plug., hexagonal curly cherry rod case with contrasting maple end caps. Rod and case evidences no signs of use and are in absolutely pristine condition. Over the years we've made less than 5 baitcasting rods, including one I made for my dad's retirement gift which remains in our family. I love making baitcasters and spinning rods for folks, but there's actually more work in one than a fly rod, hence if we quoted this rod today it would run $2,395. This one, in as-new condition, $1,595.
Leonard Model 39H: 7 1/2', 2p. 2t. for DT5/DT6 line. This 39H is in near-immaculate condition featuring blond cane w/Leonard 3x3 node spacing, polished aluminum U/L screw lock seat w/varnished mahogany spacer terminating in a 6" reverse half Wells grip, brown wraps tipped gold at ferrules and hook keeper, tan wraps tipped claret at guides, hard chrome guides with aluminum oxide ring stripper in matching brown color, Leonard step down ferrules, size 13, serial number 39H-3755. As near as I can date this rod it appears to have been made c. 1976 and fished extremely sparingly. All sections full-length, ferrules fit with silky smoothness and are easily aligned with the present witness marks, reel seat still retains some overvarnish from the wood spacer, with only the slightest grip soiling- that's how little this rod has been fished! In original yellow poplin bag and brass-capped aluminum tube sans label and hang tag, this rod is has a crisp action fitting either a DT5 or 6 line and plenty of backbone. Straight, tight and classic! $2,550
Leonard Model 50: 8', 3p, 2t. for DT5 or 6 line. Prefire vintage(1950's) expertly restored by Thomas and Thomas in the 1970's, features varnished blond cane w/3x3 node staggering, D/L aluminum square thread screw lock seat with nickel silver pocketed butt cap w/bull's eye at end of same and varnished butternut spacer terminating at a 5" cigar grip, bronze Perfection guides wrapped in color-preserved, understated tan silk, double-tipped at hook keeper and ferrules. This model is rated for DT6 line, but the size 15 and 10 ferrules give this rod a very pleasing and elegant action well into the butt, where the action is terminated by the cute little swell in front of the grip. I think it would suit almost any angler using a DT5 or WF6, too. Rod assembles with a silky smoothness due to the gorgeous Tom Bailey-made step down ferrules with witness marks, 1 tip with only a slight fishing set, straight and tight otherwise. Some grip soiling and slight cork ridging as typical of a rod of this vintage, some slight marring in spots to the delicate knurling on the screw lock band. Thanks to the T&T restoration, it's remained in overall VG condition with original bag and tube sans label and hang tag. $1,950.

J.D. Wagner Signature Series Model 363-M 6'3" 4 wt, 3 p. Pumpkin color cane, clear silk tipped black, D/L NS slide band with NS pocketed butt cap, bright hardware, chrome guides. WOW! This rod is a blast from the past! This is the 3rd rod from a batch of 6 that represented my first rods as a full-time professional builder in 1995. Although there were 6 rods made in this batch, they were all #1 in a sense as they were made at the same time. This rod model was developed out of local interest. A customer had a Summers 2p. 6'3" model that was a very sweet rod, and asked if I could make it as a 3 piece as Bob Summers didn't make 3 piece rods.(And to my knowledge, still doesn't.) So, after taking the taper and experimenting a bit to make it conform to 3p, this was the result. It's been a very successful model that we still retain in our catalogue and one of my favorites for small stream use as it packs down to just a hair over 25". It's got power and delicacy and can put a fly in a teacup- just perfect for pitching flies to brookies in tight quarters. As all of of our early rods, this rod was supplied in a very highly figured fiddleback maple case with brass snaps. Excellent condition showing only the slightest use and well-taken care of, the owner is trading toward a new Classic Series rod. $1,395 (A new one runs $2,445.) Sold!

This is a smooth caster for DT4 or 5, but just a little stiffer than our top-selling 7'3" FS taper. More meat and a tad faster for bigger fish! 100% of bluing retained on ferrules, about 80% on the cap and ring seat, some slight grip soiling which I'd be happy to clean up as well as an overall polish to the lucky owner gratis, straight and tight, bag and labeled aluminum and brass tube. Gorgeous color and varnish work, if I do say so myself. $1,900. (2012 price $2,395) SOLD!

Made famous by their association w/Charles Ritz, the P&M parabolic rods are casting machines. I took this out on the lawn with a WF7 444 and was effortlessly laying out 60' and could do more with just a slight double haul.. Some might like this rod with a DT5, but a DT6 or WF7 really makes it sing.
Forget about all the crap you've read about parabolic rods. The stuff about requiring 'pinpoint timing', etc that was written more to stroke the egos of the writers then anything. Without fail, if I'm at a show and put a parabolic into the hands of a person who doesn't know it's a parabolic, they love the rod and are quite shocked to learn that they are easily able to cast these 'difficult' rods.

New Listing! Pezon et Michel Parabolic Speciale Normale 8 1/2' 5 wt. 2p, 1t. Blond cane, Wells grip, d/l bronze color screw lock. Reverse twist guides double wrapped in red, tipped black. Condition is quite good with virtually 100% of ferrule bluing remaining. Slight grip soiling. Varnish good, but could use a polish. Rod is straight w/no sets, ferrules tight.
Made famous by their association w/Charles Ritz, the P&M parabolic rods are casting machines. I took this out on the lawn with a Dt5 333 and was effortlessly laying out 50-60' and could do more with just a slight double haul.. I think this rod would actually prefer a WF6, or even a DT6 in the hands of a person who can slow their casting stroke and let the rod do the work.
Forget about all the crap you've read about parabolic rods. The stuff about requiring 'pinpoint timing', etc that was written more to stroke the egos of the writers then anything. Without fail, if I'm at a show and put a parabolic into the hands of a person who doesn't know it's a parabolic, they love the rod and are quite shocked to learn that they are easily able to cast these 'difficult' rods.
A great rod for big water fishing. With the tips being relatively heavy, perfect for streamer, small poppers and large hair bugs, weighted flies, as well as normal dry fly work. Bag may be original, case is a replacement aluminum. $550. SOLD!
New Listing! Fenwick Voyageur Glass Model FF756-4 7 1/2', 4-piece for DT6 line. Brown wraps tipped white. D/L screw lock seat w/Young-style grip. This typical brown-blanked Fenwick is in outstanding condition...its original owner is a good friend of ours who takes great care of his equipment. All of the original decals are present and in great shape.
It's kind of a hoot seeing the resurgance in glass rods of late, with some of the new higher end rods running $500 +. Newer anglers are discovering that some of this 'old technology' really made for great rods, and of the era the Fenwicks were amongst the very highest regarded for quality and castability. This one is from the mid-70's, and has its original labeled brown and white triangular case but the bag is a well made replacement in plaid fabric like the original. Labeled for DT6, but would be nice with a DT5 and a faster casting stroke. Ah, nostaliga......$125 SOLD!.
Newly Listed! J.D. Wagner 8' 5-6 wt., 3p., 2t. Signature Series Model: Based on the Leonard Hunt model, this is the first rod we ever made in this taper(serial #1).

Also comes with a hexagonal walnut case as was our practice at the time this rod was built. $1,350/offer. SOLD!

Note: we have just received a large consignment of vintage cane rods, flyreels, glass spinning and baitcasting rods and reels. Most of the cane rods were made by noted Clevelander Sib Leotta. Sib was a world champion tournament caster, author and rodbuilder.
Many of these rods may have been made in conjunction with another Cleveland builder, Oros, as they bear quite a few cosmetic and structural similarities. As noted individually, these rods are not artistic masterpieces, but reflect the fact that they were made to fish with. Any of the rods listed will provide an excellent casting and fishing experience, at an unbeatable price.

This bar of soap is the only beauty product my boyfriend and I share, and we've both been using it for a few years now, in the shower, and as hand soap. The best thing about it is how non-drying it is. It's also worth noting the bar has a great shape, look, feel, and smell. It epitomizes clean simple luxury, and the price is right.

I have been ultimately finding soap that would really help me take care my skin and when I saw the wonderful commercial that promises the Dove soap I was of course attracted to it and decide to find out what it does to my skin. The moisturizing effect is good I feel like cool whenever I finish it. Though when I use this on my face like usually they say good for the face, I have breakouts blackheads, whiteheads and even acne shows when I used it. Further experimenting and prolonging it use I was guessing it was only for awhile but as I use it by time it gets worse my skin even get more oilier. Maybe it just me I decide to stop using it and find other alternatives.

I have been using this soap since I was a baby and simply cannot use anything else on my skin. It doesn't dry out my skin and thoroughly cleans - plus, the scent is so nostalgic!

I love Dove soap. I think "beauty bar" is a bit of a far-fetched name, but it is gentle, pleasant-smelling, non-drying and feels very luxurious to use. It is the only soap I would dare put on my face, if I had absolutely nothing else to cleanse with. For the body, it's a staple for me. Love.

This is the best soap I have ever used. I wash my hands with it during the day and before using a cleanser from a different brand would wash my face twice a day with it. Does not leave skin feeling dry or tight like soooo many soaps do. Clean and fresh is all Im left with. Removes dirt and makeup perfectly. I keep one in shower and one on the bathroom sink. My husband won't use anything else and he comes home coverd in grease. Its a bathroom staple in our house.

This is wonderful! I have used it for as long as I can remember and don't plan on using anything else for my body and face! I have very sensitive skin which often gets rashes from body washes and moisturizers, this soothes my skin and cleans it well! As for my face I have a few acne spots and using thing does not cause any breakouts and even helps them heals, I use topical treatment for acne so I can not say to much about what is does for acne but, it definitely does not irritate my sensitive skin.

One of the best bar soaps out there! It's just soap but it makes me feel feminine and squeaky clean without drying out my skin. Love the hint of fragrance, which does not invade my nostrils like some of the strong smelling soaps out there. I don't typically use bar soap on my face, but I have used this soap on my face in emergency situations and nothing happened, which is good! My simple summary is that this soap is fuss-free. Get yours, ladies and gents!

My entire family uses the Dove line, especially my little brother and mother who can only used the unscented Dove. Everything else causes eczema for them. However, I outgrew my eczema and still use Dove. It beats out high-end bars for me - even Lush.
There are a bunch of scents, and you can't go wrong with any of Dove's products. (They even have a men's line!) My partner and I both use Dove, and we both love it. He doesn't even like using anything else.
Compared to Dial or store brand soaps, Dove may be considered pricey, but it's a bargain for those who tend to splurge a tad more on their body care items. I don't see myself using anything but Dove, though I don't recommend it on the face, as it causes white heads. It's moisturizing, cleansing, smells great, and there is a scent for everyone.

Even though the Dove soap bar is super cheap and you can get it everywhere, it is not a standard household product for me. Although you can use it all over your body and even your face, it dries my dry facial skin and reveals dehydrated patches. To me it's OK to use on my body and hands, but on the face only in emegencies. Because of the soft concistensy of the soap, it should not stay in the shower because it desintegrates quickly.
I have to retract some lippies because this product claims to be moisturizing, as it isn't at all on my skin. The soap has a pleasant scent, though, that I assume many will find comfortable and associate with cleanliness.

Alleged Killer of Abortion Doctor Has Decades-Long History of Extremism
Posted By David Holthouse On June 1, 2009 @ 11:34 am In Militias,Sovereign Citizens | 13 Comments
The man suspected of fatally shooting abortion provider George Tiller as Tiller served as an usher during church services yesterday has a long history of involvement with the anti-government "sovereign citizen" movement [1], as well as anti-abortion radicalism.
Scott Roeder, 51, allegedly killed Tiller with a single shot in the foyer of the Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kan. Roeder was taken into custody a few hours later in Kansas City and is being held without bail.
Roeder's arrest is further evidence of a resurgence of right-wing extremism. A recent Department of Homeland Security report [2] came under severe criticism from the right for making the point that such extremism is likely on the rise.
Roeder's support of violent extremism dates back [3] at least as far as April 1996, when police in Topeka, Kan. pulled him over for driving with a bogus license plate. Instead of a legitimate license plate his vehicle bore a "sovereign citizen" plate that proclaimed the driver immune from state and federal laws.
The same type of tag was being used by members of the Montana Freemen [4], a violent sovereign citizen group that at the time was involved in a prolonged armed standoff with federal agents in Montana.
In Roeder's trunk, investigators found a pound of gunpowder, a nine-volt battery wired to a switch, ammunition and blasting caps.
Since his 1996 arrest, Roeder seems to have focused primarily on anti-abortion radicalism, including several posts in recent years proposing a confrontation with Dr. Tiller inside Tiller's church.
"Bless everyone for attending and praying in May to bring justice to Tiller and the closing of his death camp," Roeder posted [5] to the website of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue in May 2007. "Sometime soon, would it be feasible to organize as many people as possible to attend Tillers church (inside, not just outside) to have much more of a presence and possibly ask questions of the Pastor, Deacons, Elders and members while there? Doesn't seem like it would hurt anything but bring more attention to Tiller."
Roeder isn't the only link [6] between the militant anti-abortion movement and the Freemen. During the 1996 standoff, the Rev. W.N. Otwell, who called America a "white man's country" and led camouflage-clad followers in protests of abortion clinics, traveled [7] from his Texas compound to support the Montana Freemen in their 81-day armed standoff.
Dr. Tiller is the eighth abortion provider to be assassinated since 1977, according to the National Abortion Federation. Fifteen years ago, his name appeared atop a "hit list" that was circulated among pro-life militants.

I am so proud to be a monthly supporter of SPLC. Dr. Tiller's alleged assailant lived in Merriam, KS, only 5 miles from where I live. We are forever grateful for your tireless efforts in researching these hate groups. Many of us morn another loss due to hate and intolerance. Be assured we do not take SPLC for granted. In our daily lives, we try to be vigilant in being role models for tolerance. As a member of SPLC, I feel a duty to do my part even if it is simply refusing racist emails from acquaintances. Thank you my brothers and sisters for your courage, stamina, and strength in striving toward tolerance.

These people are indeed extremists. I will go one step more and call these individuals and Operation Rescue, for example, both terrorists and terrorist organizations.
The FBI needs to look at these groups as terrorist groups and not merely extremist organizations. Their violent acts of murder and threats, coercion, intimidation, and lawlessness put these people into the terrorist category.
The moral high ground should never be ceded to these types of people who use terror attacks in their attempt to close down abortion clinics–which is a classic example of the way terrorists act.

Duh suprise , a christian zealot who is a anti-abortion extremists has of course extermist connections like all the scums in pro-life "movement"

Article: "A recent Department of Homeland Security report came under severe criticism from the right for making the point that such extremism is likely on the rise."
The GOPers had a fit over this report. I find it very, very strange that the righties simply canNOT see how their racist words and actions can affect people.
The mcpalin campaign incited racism at stump speeches against our president, providing a platform for hate speech, and fearmongering. Not ONE member of the GOP said, hey-knock that crap off. They allowed it, which means they approved it. Ironically, palin came out against the murder of Dr. Tller, ah…but…it's a little late.
This Homeland Security report was correct, and I do not know why anyone would ever apologize for warning the country–we knew these fringe creeps were out there. Unfortunately, we were right.
The Faux News crew, along with all their contributors, and limbaugh, seriously need to be regulated. The hate they spew daily is flat scary.

SPLCenter.org plays a very important role in exposing racism, nativism, and related intolerance. HOWEVER, please, please, please, let's be a little more thorough in our information. SCOTT ROEDER was arrested, but he was never convicted because it was an illegal search (SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALL BE CONCERNED ABOUT).

I am prolife, and that means every life, whether unborn or already born. That includes the lives of abortion providers.
like many likeminded folks, I'm heartsick over Dr. Tiller's murder and the ones that preceded his killing. And over the climate of hatred and dehumanization towards prochoicers that gives rise to people who advocate these killings.
Thank you for this history on Scott Roeder. It does make me wonder how this history can be used to help prevent similar crimes in the future.
For example, how was someone with this known history of violent ideology *he acted upon before* able to get his hands on a handgun? What does this say about our collective failures of gun control, and what can be done to fix them?
The same with the man who apparently the day after Dr. Tiller's killing, shot and killed a military recruiter, saying that this was revenge for Muslims killed in the war. he was known to the fbi for his islamicist activites. so how did he get a gun?

Extremism of any kind, on the left or the right, is dangerous. When we label the opposition as "scum" we dehumanize them. After that, we feel justified in taking any reprehensible action against them because, after all, they are not really human.

You people constantly embellish and distort facts that may leave one with the impression that minorities and others are under constant threat from whites and/or christians. How much "hate" does this potentially incite?
#10 Comment By Alison On June 3, 2009 @ 3:23 pm
Will the SPLC be investigating hate groups like Operation Rescue and covering their antics in The Intelligence Report? This group is an extremist organization that exhorts bullying, harassment and intimidation tactics, against people who disagree with them and their views. They defend their actions with religious texts and seek to implement religious law. I see no difference between Klan claims that whites are superior to Jews and brown people and these "Operation Rescue" (an ironic name considering that after they rescue the fetus and she grows into a woman the only interest they then have in her is in controlling the contents of her uterus or the person she is allowed to marry) people who feel that they are superior to "murderers and abortionists who reap what they have sown" after their followers have murdered them. They publish the names and home addresses of doctors for their followers! Surely that is terrorist harassment?

It seems like everyone just hates everyone now days. No one cares about anyone anymore. Also, there are a lot of children born everyday to parents that are extremests. So, the cycle will never end. This is something that we'll either have to tolerate for our whole lifes or do something about. This website is amazing.

Hey Doug:
Your Gentle Ben just confessed.
