SInce you have already made it a moot point, I feel compelled to respond!

About four or five years ago I got a 10' 4wt BVK and it has turned into my favorite searun Dolly Varden rod and a favorite grayling rod in the wind. With an AirFlo Ridge line it easy to make the entire fly line disappear through the guides... Of all my rods it would be the first replaced if all were stolen at once.
