Yep I hate that plastic LL389. And yes it is plastic among friends. This thread should move on to tupperware now.

about time someone mentioned tupperware.
and I'm glad it wasn't me.
friday night is fried chicken night here. jalapeno cornbread is in the oven. I'll bring some of that (chicken and cornbread) up for next weekend buddy.
sorry for the hijack.
I've a generous handful of plastic rods that I love dearly. just don't fish them often.
Calling them plastic isn't subtle elitism, it's blatant elitism. If we're going to be elitist, we should be elitist about fly fishing. Then go out, string up the peasants and beat them to death for daring to poach our trout with bait using their own ugly stik spin casting rods. ;-)
Calling them fiberglass or carbon fiber or composite collectively is better and more accurate.
One thing I've never gotten is why carbon fiber rods got tagged with the graphite moniker. Graphite besides being a dry lubricant, is actually the highest grade of coal, just above anthracite. Does anyone really want to fish a coal rod?

Me
I love rods , got far too many ,some will never get waved by me again ,some only get an outing every couple of years ,they go from 5 ft which is a wee crank handle baitcaster in fibre glass via a slightly longer cane wee stream through lots of 7.9-9ft carbon in river rods ,with a Pezon Mitcelle in the mix there ,up in size there are 3 plastic 11.3 rods for drifting boat techniques + my new pre used Sage 11.3 #6 RPL ,and the come the big salmon guns all in Carbon or graphite as you will ,these range from 12.6 Hardy thru my other cheap sage at 14 foot up to the beast at 16foot via a 13 and an elderly Loomis 15 footer .
There are also glass rods for float fishing and casting for bass of the beach ,some other old but occaisonal use glass river rods of dubious parentage .
Oh and there is an 8ft Orvis Boron #5 ,great for chucking big dry flys .
All of those rods are cherished and most bring back happy memories .
Some even have moved from being rods to part of my balcony garden irrigation system
