JC -

Wandering around the Hexagraph website after I posted the link, I found an article on what rod to use to teach casting - from a Central Washington Fish-In - by one James Castwell.

After going through all the material on the website, I am seriously considering buying one of their blanks. Their rods and blanks are kind of pricey, but I have to say that I am intrigued by their product and its possibilities.

Interesting internal battle going on right now - go with an original Powell bamboo blank or a hexagraph blank based on Walton Powell's creativity - far back into the past or a venture into the future ?? Either one would stimulate someone else's economy and would be a budget item for me - a budget buster, that is.
