#PassItOn

Ok, be honest.  How many fly rods do you have that are gathering dust? One-three, a whole bunch?  Most of us who have been fly fishing for a long times have a closet, den, garage, storage unit or some dark location that is housing unused rods.  They were once prized possessions, but then something else came along. Maybe it was a change in casting style.  Maybe it was a change in brand preference.  Maybe you’ve simply updated to higher quality or picked up the latest and greatest several times over.  The result is that there are good old fly rods living in lonely spaces, marooned like the sad little doll on the Isle of Misfit Toys

Take heart.  There just might be a little boy or girl who would cherish your misfit toy.  Your timeworn fly rod, reel or vise might create a spark that will ignite a lifetime of fly fishing passion for some youthful recipient. Give that woeful misfit toy new life. #PassItOn
