The only fiberglass rod I have is an old Wright-McGill 8½' for 7 weight, #8A. It wears a, gulp, automatic reel of the same vintage. I got it for $5 at my late uncle's estate sale, simply because it was the rod that my cousin and I used as little kids fishing for goggle-eyes (crappies)- my first exposure to beating water to a froth with a fly line. Inspired by this discussion I went and dug it out, and you know what, it doesn't have a bad action (but the automatic reel will get left behind if I ever actually fish it).
