I was thinking of maybe getting one but was interested in what others thought of them. Thanks Dave

I finally had a chance to lawn cast the rod and I'm pleased how it cast the 6wt floating line that I was using. I also cast a 5wt line, but the rod seemed to like the 6wt better. The rod seems like it will be a good rod for some of the smaller creeks and rivers that I fish around here. The rod also looks like it will make a good kayaking rod. I bought the rod on a strong recommendation from another fly fisherman who also owns a TFO glass rod. Edward

Fast for glass. I like it with a 6 weight line (or even a 7 weight to slow it down some). TFO has sold out their run of these rods, so you will have to find one on the secondary market. There is custom built one for sale on FAOL right now if you are looking. Tom

I fished it with a Rio Classic DT5F line and it felt great. The 6'9" rod length was not a problem at all. It was actually fun to play with the shorter rod. Here are a couple of pictures I took of the rod on Sunday: Last Edited By: Arctic Grayling 06/18/09 10:30:16. Edited 1 times.
