Maybe the reelseat stuff was just an oversight and they must have thought that the majority of people seeing the movie would not be aware of it?

They are not historically accurate. Yes they are Grangers (anyone familar with Granger rods can see that), but the reelseats are not the ones that Granger used for their rods in that era (early 20's). The Granger rods used in the movie had the classic uplocking nickel silver Granger reelseat when in fact Granger did not even start using this reelseat until the late 1930's. The Granger rods made in the 1920's had the nickel silver slide band reelseats, not the uplocking ones...... Brian Funny thing about the rods used in the movie……

That's pure Hollywood Gold. I'm still amused by the number of people who were said to have refinished the rods used in the movie. Up to four now, and still counting. “Herbie the Love Bug Goes Off Road.” That’s pure Hollywood Gold.

As a Martial Arts freak, a fly fishing freak and a Jeep freak (I'm just a freak) I despise these movies. After Karate Kid my local Tai shop was overrun with morons, after A River Runs Through It my local streams and rivers were overrun with garbage toting (and littering) lemmings. Now I am just waiting for a movie about Jeeps so my back woods trails can be overrun with douche bags that will eventually ruin my access. Just like parts of my favorite rivers.

And in the promotional material on the dvd box, Shakes the Clown is billed as "The Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies." High praise, indeed.

I did become aquainted with one of the planets finer breeds that I had not encountered up to that point- a Jack Russell Terrier. All the professional writters, Brad and Angelina's were camped out at the country club with "Bob", no doubt discussing the finer points of fly fishing and how it pertains to the higher aspects of human existence. oh, and that one line, "these hogs have pissed in my waters"... something like that.

Brad and I are pretty good friends. He taught me everything I know about fly-fishing, bunion bugs, Hills Brother's Coffee (in the red can) and Angelina. Totally. BTW - I apparently have nothing better to do today than to make repeated, inane comments on your blog. I blame John Davidson, who is not a professional writter. I like, totally knew that.

A River Runs Through It is that movie about fly-fishing, write? And here you go spoiling it for everyone by telling us Brad Jolie was not casting his bunion bug. Damn! I'll never look at Angelina the same way again. I got distracted. A River Runs Through It is that movie about fly-fishing, write?
