No rockthief, I am not. I am thinking about trying one on for size and know quite a few are sold on that site so, just lurking for now.

I once had a 8'6" or 9' Shakespeare that probably weighed close to 5 ozs and had the action of a wobbly telephone pole, featured a foam grip and loose ferulles...3 pieace as I recall...it was awful at best.

The action I hear described in the 7-7.5' 5-6 wts rods sounds like something I want to try some time.
