    Not personally, but dorber has 10'ers in 1-4 weights that I've been wanting to try for quite a while.

    i saw the 10 foot at dorber. i called them about the 2 wt, he told me the 9 foot 2 wt "would certainly be a parabolic rod, but manageable" i did not have a clue what he was speaking about but chose to conceal my ignorance by not asking more. they are definetly great folks to deal with, would recommend them to anyone

    I think it could be a blast to land fish on, but I'm not so sure about casting. That's kept me from buying a longer one so far. The 6 1/2 will have to do for now.

    I have a 10.5 foot 3 wt that I bulit. You have to have a fair amount of line out to cast it.
    I have to cast from about 30 to 40 feet to have any control.
    It is a blast to catch fish on.

    This is the March Brown Limited, Hidden Water Series, 9' 2 wt, 7 pc fly rod.





    I use a 4 wt line so that I can spey cast the rod. It can be backcast with ease.
