Looked like it had never been fished when I got it and I have only used it once. A real nice full flexing rod.

Mine's marked for a 5 or 6, but more of a 5, and is a real sweet caster at 20-30 feet, but definitely a rod for un- or lightly-weighted flies and doesn't really load well in close. Post a report when you put some more time on it. What are your planned uses for it? Bob

I have no exact plan for the rod other than I love Phillipsons and this ones a beauty. I will proabably take it out float tubing again this season either for some trout or blue gills.

Should have never sold it. Barry
