I have the 5'9" 3/4 weight. The overall workmanship of the rod is much better than I had expected at the price. I've tried it with several different 3 and 4 wt lines and have settled on a DT4. It's very easy to overpower this rod so you really need to slow it down and let the rod do all the work. People who like fast action, tip flex rods won't enjoy this one.
