Ed Kennell 38,181 #1 Posted June 29, 2022 Not Wheel Horse, but it is collectable. Picked up this Horrocks-Ibbotson Lucky Strike 9' bamboo fly rod. It has an extra top section, hand fitted wood holder and cloth bag. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OutdoorEnvy 1,522 #3 Posted June 29, 2022 Great find indeed! I’d watch “A river runs through it” while cleaning it up then take it out to get some supper! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
