I did a bit of fly fishing as a teenager (only caught chub) although tried at Farmoor a few times. I had a Shakespeare Sigma rod (not sure on the weight) I also had a Shakespeare Blackly. I remember it being really soft so maybe it was a glass? Would love to try one now!
On my return to fishing I bought a Guideline stoked 8wt kit as was planning on coastal fishing then Covid hit and I was stuck in Oxford, found a trout water and a whole new hobby/obsession

I canna mind the make (will need to look it out) but a 7.5ft split can rod was my first rod that I borrowed off my dad. My first owned rod was an old Greenheart Trout Rod I got from a antique shop in Edinburgh and though I was archie,  that lasted me till I could afford a modern fibreglass rod which was a McHardy of Carlisle. Could my first salmon on that rod on the 'Awn'.
