a very good Dry Fly Rod matched with a no 3 WF Sharkskin trout line. With this line the rod will easily cast 50 to 60 feet with a no 12 dry fly. This rod will also

perform well with a no 4 WF Sharkskin for small weighted fly.

No Dickerson taper rod ever did the trick for me. Too stiff for my liking.

Here's one I never mastered--and which is the crappiest roll casting rod ever: the bluefish rod. Probably should have been named the bluewhale rod--casts a 1,627 weight DT. Not sure about the taper--it sure isn't parabolic. Maybe Joel could swing it with authority? Anyhow, it's a little faster than those Orvis Midge rods.

It is, I agree, a slower than medium/slow rod. Not a lot of folks cup of tea for sure!

Just a personal reflection on this taper, I kinda liked it for the type of water I fished it with.
Small mountain streams with small pools, glides, and good pocket water.
Effortless, in my opinion.

Really didn't want to sell mine, but another more desirable rod beckoned and one had to go!

Plus, occasionally people contribute their opinions on rods they really did find to be all that they're cracked up to be (or something like that.)

Whoa, someone doesn't like the Heddon 8' 1 3/4F...Boo, that one is too fast for your taste, I gather.
