So I had a 8'6" 5wt version of this rod a while back - traded it on a Barclay built Epic 686 rod. I like the SFT 8'6" 5wt alot, but I LOVE the Epic 686. So funny how I ended up with the 7'6" 1wt version of the superfine touch on a trade (one for one swap, this 7'6" 1wt for a Steffen 8'0" 4/5wt). Looking forward to catching some feisty, bad attitude bluegs on the 1wt!!!
Oh yes I did stoop down this low... but after casting this rod at the Fiberglass Casting Roundup a couple of weekends back, my whole perspective on what constitutes a rod that I would purchase and fish has completely changed. THIS ROD IS A BLAST TO CAST - plain and simple. I've got a Scientific Anglers Supra DT6F spooled up on the Orvis BBSIII waiting for some light wind, sunny days to slow down and cast away. Oh - did I mention this rod was $21.95??? Stay tuned for the first casts and I'll show how far $20 will go...
