Here is the taper on the little rod that roll casts so well . As i mentioned i was fishing with a friend in Montana ( i forget which river ) but he was casting a 4wt through a 9ft graphite rod and i was rollcasting with this rod what looked like the same distance he was over head casting ( he knows how to cast ) sorta caught both of us by surprise but was impressive enough Jimmy made a comment about the roll cast ability - he's pretty tight lipped when it comes to positive comments ...
anyway - i'm casting a 5 wt weight forward out of this rod , if someone wants to run the numbers through a program and see what it's really designed for i'd be curious to know myself cause i really have no clue and have only tried the 5 wt . it's really funky to cast short distance - i think i'm always way too fast but out about 40 - 50 ft it performs well then falls flat on its face again at about 60 -65 ft i have to really work the hell out of it ...........
