My name has finally come up for a rod from Per Brandin. I've been on the waiting list for years. The rod I ordered is a 804-2 df HB. Before I commit to this rod is there a better rod/taper I should get? I do 99% of my fishing on the Farmington River between Collinsville & Riverton. I have also heard great things about his 803 df HB hex. I fish a fly between 16 & 20 most of the season. I like a crisp dry fly action (Payne 98 is my fav, I also love quads) Once he gets my deposit I'll have the rod in 8 months!! Any opinions on his best rod/taper?? here is a link to his trout rods.
