A short but not so dainty fly rod - RMargiotta

I have a 6'0" Orvis Superfine 1 piece rod that takes a DT5 line so I wouldn't 
go it dainty.  I've only cast it so far (not fished it) and it is rather fast 
with a stiff tip.  It has a short "torpedo" shaped grip and an all cork reel 
seat with dual aluminum sliding bands.  The whole thing only weighs 1 7/8 oz. 
 It seems perfect for the small pocket water here in the Southern 
Appalachians.  The taper follows.  The stress curve has been saved on Frank 
Stezer's on-line hexrod under the name "sfine".
