90j
690j
6455
197
540

etc...

Sorry about the omission, I almost forgot about that. That is correct though, he "cut his teeth" in the industry w/Roddy rods (wow...it's been a long time since I've seen or heard of that rod company. One of my first trout rods and fav when I was just a lad).
Thanks for posting it and bringing it to my attention.
Greatly appreciated,

The Calstar 540 is back up for grabs... $125 for the rod by itself.

Thanks,

I'd have to agree with Fly, Calstar is the tops! Sabre was sold to Penn at some point and the quality was never the same. Sabre was a really bitchin rod at one point but , IMHO, Sabre is now junk.

Again, I agree with Fly. First choice is Calstar, second choice is Seeker. That's just preference but both companies make a damn fine rod.
