new rod to be offered on website | #396 | ||

Posts: 802 08/05/2009 15:36 |
this rod is the first of a new rod offered on my web page.Many of you have purchase my F.E.Thomas light special( 8' 3pc. 4/5wt.)there have been many kind
comments ,and I have had some say they find it a little fast when power is applied for extra distance. there seemed to also be variation in the opinion of
the proper line weight. I felt that there was an opertunity to make a new taper that addressed these ideas. this rod is modified by narrowing the lower mid and
upper butt section to give a more med full flexing action while retaining the dryfly nature of the thin tips that allow for loading of the leader and fly
right off the tiptop. this change has put this rod firmly as a 4wt. This taper will now be offered on my website as an original stone taper and is listed under
the F.E.Thomas description. The rod is a hollwbuilt for sale please contact me at stone_family@comcast.net for
futher pricing info.

This 7 footer was made for my wife, and who knows, maybe
she'll take up fishing again. I'm happy with it. Two steps forward, avoided the one step back with this one.
