Bob's rods were one of my inspirations scud, I found I could lose an entire line weight on some light but relatively stiff graphite blanks, make a 4wt a 3 wt. It allows flex through the grip. I had a 7' 4 wt. "green" blank that I let sit for years as I thought it to stiff for my liking, I tried the "Griggs" style grip more as a novelty than anything, but it seemed that with the guides installed, and the griggs grip it "loosened" up. Actually it made a dandy little 3 wt. rod, I have made dozens of them since, and folks seem to like them. The next rod was a 68" one piece Lamiglas, pictures when the sun returns, this rod is magic, it makes you learn how to wade rather than how to over-cast to a target.

Thanks Guys!!! I love this stuff.......
