			<description><![CDATA[ I suspect your correct on your line assignments, I have a Phillipson Miti Light #62 at 6ft and Im sure the basis for this series, it loves DT5S fun to cast, so
if the shorter rods are true to form they are not light lines by todays standards, however they are a ball with modern lines of the slightly heavier weights.

			<description><![CDATA[ Great points on the Banty. Last summer Ron (Bulldog) was kind enough to allow me to fish his 6 foot Phillipson with Teeny 130 line. The rod is rated 6wt and I
doubt it would have liked 3 or 4 wt line unless it has 45 feet of line aerialized.

			<description><![CDATA[ No prob, I love that little T&amp;T, Marty Desapio sent me the taper and a few pics. How do you like it. I haven&#39;t had it made but was thinking one of
these days. That Teeny line is hard to find, not sure if they still make it. It was cheap, loads just about anything. Orvis had a green mountain line they sold
at walmart it was also great, can&#39;t seem to find that one either. ]]></description>

email inquiries. Thank you. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I do have the line, it&#39;s stout and short tapered, I believe Teeny&#39;s &quot;first cast&quot; line was basically the same taper. I live in Downeast Maine
a 7ftr is equivelent to a 9ftr up here. I use to own a fly atom, great little rod for what I needed it for. I was thinking of up grading. The fly atom was
4&#39;6&quot; ? wasn&#39;t it? Banty&#39;s are pretty cool and have held a special place for me, like salmonid said they are specialty rods for specific jobs.
Looks lie there is alot... ]]></description>

      Ditto. I&#39;d also love to see a pic&#39; of the Gingrich rod. Heck, I&#39;d like to see the whole collection. I&#39;m savlivating just imagining it.
      <br>
      <br>
      Personally, I enjoy my A and F Banty, and other short rods too.

			<description><![CDATA[ I own and USE almost all of the Banty rods which were generally available; Orvis, A&amp;F-marked Orvis, (including Arnold Gingrich&#39;s personal Banty),
Hardy, A&amp;F-marked Hardy, the Payne (reproduction), A.J. Thramer&#39;s 444, and one of only two T&amp;T&#39;s made, the above all in bamboo AND a number of
the Phillipson-made A&amp;F-marked glass Banty.

			<description><![CDATA[ Interesting, I to am watching this auction, its a model I have not yet aquired, and was wondering about its actual abilities.
<br>
I have a really nice Phillipson two piece 6ft 5wt miti light, its a real fun rod, very light weight and also takes a light reel, been fishing it here with a
DT4S and some size 12-16 nymphs, beadhead bugger streamers and a few Letort Crickets in size 12 that appear drowned with the sinking setup. However I was
really wondering what the Banty was like to fish,... ]]></description>

marketed; all 4&#39;-4&quot; which is what the name &quot;Banty&quot; correctly means. Hardy, Orvis and Payne all sold their version through A&amp;F along with
the Phillipson glass model.

A glass Phillipson Banty went up on eBay today, the 30th of May, 2009. It&#39;s listed as 4.5&#39;. In actuality it should measure 4&#39;-4&quot; as... ]]></description>
