Hey Rick,

You are going to love fishing with a one wt.

I made mine last winter, and almost exclusively fished it this past summer.

I have even managed to catch a couple of really nice bass on it!
( four, and five pounders )

You are absolutely going to want to put a good to excellent quality reel on it; must have decent drag on it also!

You want the reel to work well just in case a monster takes your fly, The reels drag just might save your new beauty!!!

On another note, did you ever try those micro jigs I sent you last year?
I have a newer, and improved version this year, if you are interested?

Take care,
chris from canada
