Thank you, Rusty Byrley


Rusty brought Pat Helton a very old Bullard International "confidential dealers price list" during the Houston Fishing Show where Pat was manning the RFS booth.

Rusty, thank you so much. I always cherish anything that reflects Gene's hard work in this industry.  This will go along with my many treasured items from Gene during the days when Gene was, no doubt on top. Rodbuilders looked in the mail with great anticipation for each and every new catalog Gene put out each year. I had one rod builder tell me it was much like getting his Christmas catalog from Sears! I thought that was a great way of putting it. So thanks much Rusty, I really appreciate it!

It has some really cool stuff in it. Gary Loomis was just starting to get popular in the south then and some of his first blanks were in the catolog. I think it was a year or two before the GL2 came out and the blanks were only like $29.00- $34.00 or something like that.Crazy!!! Fenwick was the blank to have back then. Glad that Pat passed it along to you, Sylvia.
