I built a rod on an 0-wt SLT blank and I love it. I started out with the 0-wt Sage quiet taper line but the feel was just not there. Once I tried a 2-wt DT line the rod came into its own. Casts beautifully and is perfect for little streams but can handle surprisingly large fish. Landed a 16 inch fish this past spring and was still able to bring it in quickly.
