Curtis,
Try contacting them directly. The contact information can be found on their web page https://www.harvest-tackle.com.tw/contact.htm (gone now), which unfortunately only behaves reasonably well in Internet Explorer.

Does anyone know
Does anyone know where I can get harvest rods in the United States?

This is the ocean, more precisely Vejle Fjord. There is very little salt in the water and it freezes quickly. But it was a very nice day.

Thank you so much
Thank you so much for this! 😄
I 'm a new fly fishing and I was wondering what was that white line they have attached to my reel when I bought all the equipment. I thought that this was a beggininers line to test casting etc... So when I bought the fly line (WF 6 F), I removed more than half of that (100 yrds) white line, that I didn't know what it was. I tought it would be better if I attached the fly line in this white line so I left about 40 yards. When I read about the "backing line" in google searches, I used a Sliding Knot to connect again the backing line that i cought. So I have again about 100 yds of it. I hope it doesnt matter that about half way in the backing line there is a Knot. I finally used the Albright that you have above to connect the backing to the leader!
Thank you so much,
Happy new year!

Nice fish. Wish I had caught fish like that 20 days ago. I was out a couple of days ago. Cold and beautiful, but empty.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Strobel in 2011, but so far we keep getting redirected to Loop, which is hard on the bank! Any information on your lodging at strobel would be so much appreciated. We live in Alaska and would be happy to exchange information if interested. Awsome trip!

Welcome to the forum and to GFF as a whole. Your small stream looks very intriguing! Nice photo!
But the rod is indeed odd! It looks as if the handle has been turned upside down.

Martin,
You're right about that rod - it's a piece of work OK. No, the handle is not mounted upside down. Here's what Montgomery Ward had to say about the rod in their 1959 Outdoor Sports catalog:
"All Purpose Panfish Rod. Land a Blue-gill, Brim or Perch with sturdy 2-piece solid fiber glass "responsive action" rod. Also suited for other still or fly fishing. Polished aluminum fly rod yreel sest. Chrome plated ferrule with 4 snake guides and tip top set in contrasting cluster of nylon windings. Composition cork grip, polished Aluminum reel seat with screw locking ring. Packed in plastic bag. Actual wt. 4 ozs., 7 ft. length. Mailable. $3.75"
It came with a open frame reel ($0.89). I "upgraded" to the weighted Pflueger 1495 to get the rod and reel into balance.
Nothing to brag about, but for a kid of 11 it was all that I needed to get started in fly fishing. As I said, I still fish it regularly; sort of sentimental favorite.

Johnny,
This is as much an ad as any review of a good product. And the Whiting products ARE good! Simple as that.

Would make a great "
Would make a great "guide fly" for bass or pickerel as you could make up extra bodies and replace them on the treble hook as the fish tear them up. This could save money on hooks. Pretty sure Mustad wouldn't agree!

A complete ad
wow, a complete ad for whiting hackles.
Another great fly
again another great fly, I use a fly thats similar called a lighting bug the pattern is a TMC 200R # 10-16, 6/0 thread black, black goose biot tail, black holo tinsel (med) body, black uni-wire rib, black thin skin wing case with black flashabou accent, black ice dubbing thorax, three to four turns of black hen hackle, you can add a black bead if you like or not, caught my largest trout of the season on a # 14 beadheaded version a 22" redband trout fom the chewaucan river in october 09, sometimes you need to visit the dark side,keep up the informantable arctile's and let the fur and feathers fly.

Again another well w
Again another well written arctile,This fly is the results of leaving a box of nymphs alone in the dark wierd things result from innerbreading you mix a biot bug with a flashback hares ears,and throw in a bead head and wala you have a universal nymph good fly use both the hare's ear,black,and dark olive version with great results keep up the good arctiles.

Cornelis,
Cornelis,
No problem! I just want to make sure that the "official!" GFF policy is clear.
What you do as a private person is your sake - even though I'd think that buying a DVD bow and then is a good idea. ;-)

Request came in to build 50 reels at 3wt - under 1 ounce
This is going to be a challenge - I wonder what it is going to look like and how close I can get.
to Martin / From Cornelis
Martin is not my intention to put people to illegal to do sorry.
I write my posts as a new member in your forum, about my technique and people can ask about that on fisheries.
Greeting: Cornelis
