Comments | This is an excellent taper for a 7' 2/3 wt rod. This started out as my Shenandoah Lite and is now called "Yellow Rose". I named it after my signature fly shown on my homepare and also because I put Pink! silk wraps with yellows tipping on it (looks beautiful). I have fished this rod and it is a dream. A little longer rod that will power a 2 wt line nicely yet will cast leader only out to as far as you need to go on a mountain stream. It is as accurate as you want for a rod. The original taper given to me by Jon Parker was a one piece nodeless. I modified it and built it as a 2 piece nodeless. Chris loves the level taper on this rod. |
