"Hi Shane,
I had indicated in an earlier note how very pleased I am with the workmanship and appearance of my new rod. Yesterday our weather warmed and I had a chance to get outside and cast it.
I am very impressed with the ability of the rod to generate line speed and form tight loops. Honestly, I am quite surprised at how accurate the rod is. I have a series of small plastic cones at a variety of distances. I was able to reliably swat an 8" diameter cone at 45' with the yarn fly. (Despite my own casting limitations.) I expected the tip to track somewhat loosely and the accuracy to suffer a bit. I am starting tothink that one of these with some slightly different hardware would make a great bonefish rod!
Looking forward to Spring.
Robin"
