I bought 3 LH wind series Perfects from Dan Dailey's emporium. They are, like Walkers, Vom Hoff and latetr on Bogdans and Fin-Nor wedding cake salt water reels, true Steinways..but a hot-rodded Plueger Medalist with the Bill Franke One-Pfooted reel foot- is like a Baldwin acrosonic spinet--I bought a few of my rods, in the 1980's "cane rod boom times" from Marty Keane, but he was open to some price negotiations as I found him a 1903 Mannlicher-Schoenaur .256 18" barrel (like Hemingway once had) to replace one apparently stolen and vanished without a trace. Not all cane rods had serial numbers, but most firearms do, but Marty never recorded the number on his rifle--I never did any business with Len Codella, apparently he took umbrage at a comment I once made about Orvis impregnated bamboo rods- that they were made to last, but not to cast. Oh well!! RWTF
