Hi Guadalupe, Is there a decernable difference in the taper or feel of the Steffen 8' 5/6 and the 8'6" 5/6 steffen? Do you think they are completely diffferent blanks, or just an extended 8' blank? Thankyou. Davedog

I'm definitely wired in the mold of: "buy, try, and move them along if I don't love 'em"

I have had a ton of enjoyment sampling a variety of rods over the last ~ 6 years. The new realties of shipping costs have slowed my roll, but that's OK as I'm getting more dialed in to what I like.

Fiberglass quiver:
Browning Silaflex 322970, 7' - 5 wt
Cortland FR-2000 1-625-1, 7' 6" - 5/6 wt
Phillipson Royal Wand RWF70C, 7' - 6 wt (tied for favorite)
Browning Silaflex 322975, 7' 6" - 6 wt (tied for favorite)
Browning Silaflex 322980, 8' - 6/7 wt

Graphite quiver:
Hardy Shadow Sintrix 220 - modern rods made in Korea with a wonderful medium fast action and nicely appointed.
Harris Sportsmail in the UK had them on blowout/clearance a few years back, amazing bang for the buck.
4 wt 8' 6"
6 wt 9' 0"
8 wt 9' 0"

On "probationary test period"
Cortland Pro-Crest 534, 7' - 6/7 wt
Orvis Golden Eagle, 8' HCF (7 wt)
Simply need more hours on the grip fishing/casting

Ijuin Imogi 7' #3 (A fun "sticky" rod to cast)

NCA "The Sons" 7'6" #3/4 (Very much a Japanese Leonard tribute rod in glass)
Hardy Perfection 7'6" #4 (One of the smoothest rods I have ever cast - deliciously slow.)

Winston "Stalker" 8' #4 (Bought from Matt Leiderman - wonderful rod.)
Larry Kenney 813 (A "Hall of Fame" rod and one that folks will still covet in twenty years)
Leiderman/Steffen 8' #5/6 (What can I say? Just one of the best - blank and builder)

My small collection fills my needs though I’m always looking for a Winston glass rod, someday hopefully.

CGR 5’10” 3 Greys reel
Fenwick ff756 4pc Voyager
C. Barclay 70p paired with Hardy Featherweight Golden
Steffen Bros. 8’ 4/5 3pc
Steffen Bros. 7’9” 5/6 3pc both paired with Abel (Steve) TR in the 2 and 3
Fenwick ff857 2pc with a Galvan Standard 3.5 in green.

Parted ways with a few, but I think these are all keepers.

I also have a St. Croix 6wt mystery Anniversary rod, thread and pics on here.

Open to suggestions for a dedicated reel for the Fenwick. Thinking a Medalist?

Only been a glass convert for three or four years now and I’ve been focused on rods I’ll fish mainly. Just starting to get into collecting. Here’s what I’ve managed so far.

Scott F Series 723-5
Lamiglas honey 703
NFC Iconoglass 764
Orvis Superfine Glass 764
Hardy Sintrix glass 5/6 8ft
Epic 686
SA System 6
Browning Silaflex Medallion (think it’s 6/7 wt)
Hardy Fibalite 8ft 6wt
Fenwick 858
NFC Iconoglass 8 1/2ft 8wt
Hardy Richard Walker Superlite (has lower grip/ use as switch)
Hardy Esk (use as switch/ has lower grip)
Echo Glass 12’6 6wt Spey

Of course, the family is still growing.

I’ve kept a few graphite rods from my past life although I do fish my Burkheimer two handers for steel and salmon but I’m always hunting for glass two handers.
