...because I haven't actually used it to fish with, but on the strength of Jack Hise's testimonial, I went over to Cumberland Transit yesterday evening and tested one of the new TFO BVK rods. That 5-wt was certainly an OK rod with a 5-wt line on it, but it was a cannon with a 6-wt line on it. It filled out the adoption papers (I signed my name at the cash register) and brought it home. I fear that my other TFO rod, also a 5-wt overlined with 6-wt line, will become miffed.

If you get the chance to test cast one of these rods, DON'T DO IT, I mean, unless you just want to adopt another rod...
