    I really like thin silk with no CP. I like being able to see the work that has been done on the guide feet. I like how translucent it looks, like it was poured on.

    Sounds like a lower end Montague. Should weigh about 5 1/2 ounces. Line for it will probably be a 6 or a 7wt. When new it sold for about $ 8.00.
