As stated on an earlier BB question on the rods, I have been pretty pleased with my 7'6" 5/6 weight rod. Workmanship on the rod is very good considering the price. It throws out a lot of line with little effort. My only concern is that I would have liked a little more butt strength on it for big smallies in faster water but I'm getting used to that also. Took out a fairly inexperienced fly fisherman Tuesday night and while he did pretty well with his graphite rod he had a tough time trying to figure out the slower action of this rod. I told him to take his time and let the rod do the work. He struggled with my glass rod but was really impressed with the distance I was casting it.

It's a sweet rod and the case it comes in just an added bonus.
