Fly Goddess....pls state what action your new 10' 5wt is. You obviouslydidn't have to overline it. Just curious with that long a rod what action you like on it? I am going to build a 3,4,&5 wt.....but not sure what action to aim for. I fish mostly lakes from a float tube.

Tyrone....this is a good thread, lots of good info I never knew. But, you have a curiosity about a 10' rod. You need to fish with one to satisfy that..."I Wonder" little thing in your brain. I am at the point where I am going to build a 10 footer now.....just because I want to.....and I don't even know what to expect. But I will know after I have done it.
