Dave G. 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2017 Enjoy it, it's a beautiful rod for sure ! The $30,000,000 question, does it cast and handle fish as you expected it to ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was able to roll cast (what I will be doing 90% of the time with it) further than my 5wt! It handled that 16" rainbow with ease... litterallt no trouble bringing him in. The action is perfect. Light enough tip to keep fish on with small midges, and heavy enough backbone for more leverage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you said in the video it was DT line but I didn't hear the weight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2017 This rod is awesome! Just landed a 17-18" fat rainbow on it with a size 24 midge at the San Juan River. If you guys ever watch my fishing video's you know I don't do this usually. I always have had trouble with landing fish on such small midges. Thanks so much Steve!
