Re Rod recommendation - Bill Walters
Wayne, how 'bout a Dickerson 8013?
The taper I'm adding uses a size 13 ferrule and is
perhaps the smoothest medium action 5wt. I've ever
cast. Its the older version of the 8013 so its a solid
medium action and not the medium/fast windstick that
is posted on the Rodmakers site. This rod will cast
the 50/60 feet you describe and will work in close
really nice as well.
