"The rod has just arrived at my office.
How brilliant and gorgeous it is !! The
action is smoooooth like a silk. I cannot tell this is a two piece rod.
Every detail is actually beyond my imagination. I
think your rod now stands in a new dimension that is totally different from your
father's rod (which is of course excellent). Bravo!!!! I
am proud to own your rod Steve. Thank
you."

"The rod arrived on
Monday. What a work of art!! It was worth the wait to own a Jenkins
rod for sure! You must be proud to be carrying on the family tradition
with such talent. Once the dust settles on this end I would like to order
a 4wt from you.
Hope this finds you well! Thanks again for your efforts! You
certainly live up to your reputation!!"

"Hello,
Charlie. I was not going to fish the "Charlie Rod", but at
the end of the season I broke down and went streamside with it. It fishes very
well & has the same traits as the newer rods that you & Steve have
crafted for me! I have owned 30 rods over the years... and after all the
road testing the Jenkins rods are my favorite. I must say the best traits of the
Jenkins rod, show up while fishing them! From the early rods crafted
by yourself, to the rods crafted by you and Steve, and to the rods Steve crafts
today they prove one thing to me. Like father, like son. You should
be damn proud."

"The bottom line is this.
The GA79 is simply the most beautiful fly rod I have ever owned, held or cast.
The action is insanely perfect for my style, the grip, perfection, what it does
with a Phoenix DT5 silk line...indescribable. Even down to the beautiful
cherry seat. Man, Steve, I'm sure you get a lot of letters gushing over
your work,
as it is very well deserved. But, I have loved fly fishing for 18 of my 32 years
and never have owned a rod as fine as the one you and your father have crafted.
Please send your dad my highest regards and know that your craftsmanship has
easily earned a customer for life. I hope that you're both well and am
already anticipating my next Jenkins fly rod."

"Had
a chance to fish the rod on Saturday. Caught fifteen, plus, mixed bag of browns,
rainbows and brookies in one of our "delayed harvest" stocked
streams, most 12"-13". I'm not sure what my expectations were, but
the rod exceeded them. For me it was like fishing a magic wand. I have been
introduced to a whole new level of pleasure in fly fishing. It must be a great
feeling to know that you can create a work of such beauty and superb function
and bring hours of pleasure to folks all over the nation."

"I
just received my 7 ft. 9 inch Jenkins for 5 weight, and I believe it is
the best taper you've developed so far. As you know, I have owned five
Jenkins rods and this new, light dry fly rod is the best of the lot. It
is just the ticket for Eastern fishing. It is extremely light in
the hand and casts beautifully. I believe it will become your most
popular rod. I am thrilled with its appearance and its fishing
ability."
