Re Gillum 8 6wt... - Bopep


This is a taper of my second rod and it still blows me away. I miced it over
varnish, subtracted 4 thou and it turned out to be a good shooter for the
Roaring Fork. It's a fun action, but I would never call it lyrical. the stress
curve looks pretty goofy compared to others I've hexrodded...but nevertheless
it shoots line like a M.F. It even did "okay" casting clousers for Kankakee
river smallmouths this fall but I'm planning (planing?) on a para 15 for that
duty next year.
Oh yes, does anybody have a Payne 201?
