“I absolutely do not see the point of a fly rod under a 3wt”.
Me

My perspective has changed, and this is one fine fun fly rod. My 3 and 4 weights are going to see a little less play time.

Fished it today with a 406 DT 3wt line. (100g)
I was impressed with how well this rod cast with a heavy line weight. Looking forward to using a Royal Wulff Triangle Taper Wf2 line soon.

And of course Shane’s craftsmanship is just incredible.

Love the thread color change in the wraps. That writing looks so well done too - wonder if it is a stencil or freehand (maybe Shane can comment). Nice to catch a fish on a new rod and be very very pleased.

Count me in as being another fan of Shane's work. Looking forward to hearing more about this rod.
