So nice of you to drop by. Unfortunately, this rod sold some time ago. Still, it's good you stopped in - has anyone purchased George's rod company? I've been maintaining the Sweetwater Rod Company Web site as something of a remembrance of George, but if a new owner bought the rod company (as opposed to just the gear), then he should get the domain. Sorry for your loss, Tom Chandler Yahna! So nice of you to drop by. Unfortunately, this rod sold some time ago. Still, it’s good you stopped in – has anyone purchased George’s rod company?

Sorry for your loss, Tom Chandler

I’m George Maurer’s daughter and I found your post while looking around online. I have been looking for my Dad’s rods that are for sale and may be interested in purchasing this one from you. Is the rod still available?

Thank you!

On a different note, however, I read with great interest a story in The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, WA) about a man who forgot his rod on a trip to the St. Joe in Idaho and was successful using a stick rigged with paperclips. Here's a link: http://www.spokesmanreview.com/tools/story_pf.asp?ID=260923 So I'll try not to feel too bad that I can't afford a handmade bamboo rod. Sob. I need a new job.

If I had the funds I'd snap it up and start a new career as a rod speculator. That rod will appreciate in value! If I had the funds I’d snap it up and start a new career as a rod speculator.

Hate to let it go, but I've got too many, and I've discovered I like progressive tapers a bit more than the paras when I'm actually fishing.
