The rod belongs to a friend who drug it out of his FF closet and had the same difficulty I did. I suggested he spend some time with it and he declined saying he had a good short stream rod and seeing we have ONE trout stream nearby (if you call an hour drive nearby) he will put what time we get on the stream with the graphite rod he has (as I do - I have a 6' 4wt Cortland which was purchased at the Cortland facility in the late 70s I believe).
