Bamboo Fly Rod
Boredom has set it so I decided to sell a couple Montague bamboo fly rods. One is a Flash and 1FLF is printed on the label. What does that mean?

Wayne, I checked with Rex Eads and as redundant as it sounds, it stands for “Flash Fly Rod”

I guess it was a stock number, so I suppose the intricate code made sense.

Re: Bamboo Fly Rod
They must have sold millions in their day. Craigslist always lists “rare , collectible , Montygue brand bamboo fly rod from grandpa’s attic for sale. 4” broken off tip and half guides missing but an easy fix. $85 firm. No lowballs -I know what I have.”
you can tune a piano,but you can't tuna fish.
