Anyone have experience with these rods

[sstasiak]

Can anyone give me any info on these bamboo rods as far as quality goes?

1. Skilton Forecast 8'6" 5wt
2. Montague Redwing

Thanks

The Redwing was Montague's top of the line rod, and is a decent rod. It is harder to find in the shorter lengths popular these days. I have an old Chubb/Montague 8 1/2' rod with fancy red and gold wrappings that was a precursor of the Redwing and it is a nice rod for midge fishing.
