I love the TFO BVK series of rods, and caught a lot of nice bass on my 6wt this year. I bought the 7wt....but got it too late in the season to really try it out. Its all lined up, but I haven't cast it yet.
Sorry...that doesn't help much...but if that 7wt BVK is anything like the 5wt and 6wt...it'll be a GREAT rod!
I would be interested in your impressions when you get a chance to use the 7wt. I have a BVK 6wt I use now for smallmouth, but I am thinking of getting a 7wt also. I throw a lot of size 4 poppers and large streamers and I think the 7wt may be a good choice.
I have cast the clouser rod, it is a nice rod, medium action compared to the BVK, much heaver rod.
