[quote bassbugn]Everyone keeps mentioning $600 for a high end rod but they can be had for less. I bought my Sage 896 sp for $350 from someone who had never used it another Sage for $170 when they changed models. I just saw an Orvis in a clearance bin for $120 that I think was a 4wt 6pc. I think the sticker said $280. Sorry I can remember the model. I bought five other rods that were 80% off one day.[/quote]
You are right on that! I bought one of the First T3's and it was over $600, but with the intro to the Zero and the Helios, the prices have dropped.
Like mentioned, the ones with the Manufacturers Retail Price. I have a Friend just pick up a WT Winston in NEW condition for $350.
Buyer be ware on e-bay however. My other friend ordered a vintage rod only to find out the tip was missing 3" which was not mentioned anywhere in the post.
