Good to hear. I could never find a connection with graphite rods when i tried to fish them so more often than not my graphite rod stays stowed away when i hit the water. Picked up a circa 1970s Hardy Fibalite 7wt glass rod to go and hunt steelies with in the upcoming months. It still had the plastic on the cork!

I have a couple Cabelas CGr rods. They are sweetness, glad they brought them back, e-glass is prime. Have a 6'2" 2wt and a 6'6" 4wt. The 4wt sees the most use. I also have the inbetween model CGt but it is alot faster than the CGr. I believe they used s-glass on those models. Similar to the Orvis superfine glass series in terms of action.
