It is now official. The rod I recieved from you in the swap has been baptized When I got it the grip was a little fat for my hand so carefully sanded it down. Now Ive put fish slime on fresh cork. I can see why you were sad when you sent it. It is a perfect rod for the Mtn Streams I fish. For me if in close a DT5 works good, for a little more reach I use a WF6. Thanks again for a good addition to my arsenal. Clyde
