Hi . . .
I rewarded myself with the 6-piece model this spring, and I must say it is an excellent piece of craft for fly fishing. I pack the 13" case into my courier bag, hop onto my mountain bike, and reach the water in a half an hour with no fears, headaches, or even bungee cords (wrapped around the main frame; my old method of two-piece rod transport).
The action on my 5-weight is fine, very easy to work with on my home stream, which averages between 20 and 40 feet in width. I also took it onto AMTRAK for a long weekend in Connecticut, and it worked equally well on the trout ponds I fished up there. The rod has so far handled all conditions, and has proven very sporting when matched against brown trout, smallmouth bass, and redbreast sunfish.
Hope this helps . . .
