The 795 protects tippets like a champ. But I feel more limited with it on the water over the 765.

With Johns' 795, you'ver really gotta slow the casting stroke. The more relaxed, the better it performs. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (martketwatcher) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/98205 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 07:48:55 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/97606/t/7-9-Rod-Recommendations-and-why-.html#reply-97606
One maker who is not listed here is South Creek Ltd. Mike's John Gierach 7'9" taper is wonderful, poweful, smooth and progressive. This taper is also available without buying the signiture rod.

I cast Scott's Carlin rod and it was wonderful also.

From previous posts, I'm aware that many of you guys are into faster action rods, but I will point out that Orvis made a rod called a "Pace
Changer" that was a 7' rod with a second, longer tip that made it a 7'3" for a 6wt line that is truly delightful to fish. They also made a

That's a nice choice for your first cane rod. I'll bet it's not your last.
check your messages, i've left you a note.

I forgot all about that7'-6" / 7'-9" Orvis, man I would like to cast that one some day.

I had a chance to cast one of Chris' 7'9" 3/2 5 wt FTS rods this spring, that is also a nice taper. I am really happy with the SH series, I can't wait to fish it. I think that this stick is really going to round out my small cane quiver.

I believe my rod may be the one to which you refer. I've posted photos of it on both the fishing and collecting boards.

I received it in October 2007 and it is a truly great taper. Very light in the hand and the finish work is impeccable. Poudre1 casted it at this year's Colorado Cane Conclave and seemed to really like it. We mixed it in with some PHY tapers and it seemed to compare very, very well.

I'm quite sure yours will become a favorite!... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Flyman615) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/96539 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:26:02 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/96526/t/7-9-Rod-Recommendations-and-why-.html#reply-96526
Jason Borger laid out 100'+ of line with one of Chris's rods like yours at the Camp Sherman Bamboo Rod Fair last weekend.
I had the opportunity to cast it a bit later, it's a super nice rod, really smooth power. I'm sure you will enjoy fishing it. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (greg hall) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/96526 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:21:19 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/96521/t/7-9-Rod-Recommendations-and-why-.html#reply-96521 David Dornblaser wrote:

A Chris Carlin SH795 2/2 hollow-built rod showed up on my door step the other day. It is a gorgeous rod, I will post pics as soon as I take some. I had an opportunity to cast the rod for about an hour. It is both smooth and powerful. I hope that to have the opportunity to fish it soon. Hopper season is almost here.

I had for a while a 7'9" Pickard--truly a beautiful rod, a little idiosyncratic, but also personable--it's the sort of rod that works *with* you if you let it. I later obtained a Leon Hanson 7'9" 2/2 that was more easy-going. Both were 5 weights, both fine rods, but both very different. In the end I kept the Hanson and sold the Pickard, not because I prefer Blondes over Brunettes, but because the Hanson... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (bearbutt) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/96256 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:38:41 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/96042/t/7-9-Rod-Recommendations-and-why-.html#reply-96042

After reading your post I pulled out my Tonka Queen, which I lawn cast today. What a nice 5-weight taper, A lot of reserve power with the big swell.

I really like my Lew Parks rods, I have his 8012 H.B.& 7613 H.B. so I'm not suprised to hear you like his Payne 79 4-weight.

I have a Brooks Payne para 7'9" 5-wt. rod it it's real nice to fish with. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (WatercolorMan) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/95891 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 03:32:25 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/95503/t/7-9-Rod-Recommendations-and-why-.html#reply-95503 seattlesetters wrote:

I completely defer to Bill Oyster on this (wow!!!!), and agree 100%. I just wanted to add: I am vehemently not a "jack-of-all-trades," one-rod sort of guy.

I prefer 7 1/2' or 8' rods for a 5 weight line. Medium to medium fast tapers.
Will this length rod offer anything that my preferred length rods will not?

I realize this is a quite subjective question. I am aware that several modern makers now offer this rod length. Carlin,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (bobbeegee) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/15739 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:45:23 GMT
