    Default Drake Fly Rod

    Found a Drake 9' 2 weight at a local GARTs store. Other than it is a two piece rod it fits what I am looking, but I can't find any info on them. Can anyone help??

    Thank you in advance.

    some more info after I looked at it again,
    Quarrow makes the rod, Drake is the series,
    Big Horn the Model, DB 6/9-2 Dark Green in color and a life time Warranty..

    Also has two stripping guides before the snake guides start

    Rich, thanks for the info, but I think I was wishing too much. after looking at the rod AGAIN, it looks more like a 9' 6 weight, 2 piece. DB 6/9-2 is the numbering on it. Still a good feeling rod, but not the 2 weight I'm looking for. I have always wondered why they make the lighter line rods shorter as they get lighter. I know it has something to do with balance, loading and such. I just like the longer rods.
