Thanks guys. If you have not had the pleasure to cast one of Mark Steffen's rods....I would HIGHLY recommend it. There are a lot of modern fiberglass options to pick from these days; but I truly believe that Mark's tapers set the bar. His 3/4wt. and 5/6wt. are already considered classics. And several of his 2/3wt. configurations (the 6'0" and the 7'6") and his newer 6/7wt. are also extremely popular.
