Riffle 'XXL' 6'8" 2/1 #4

Postby corlay » Sun Nov 29, 2009 3:18 pm

Here's my previous build's little brother,
a 6'8" #4 fiberglass blank also from Phil at the Kettle Creek Tackle Shop in PA.
Phil lists it as a #3/#4, but it's definitely a DT4 in my hands.
Very light build @ 2.1oz.; feels very nice to cast.
I have yet to hook a trout on it yet, however.
Got skunked my last time out.... :-(

I like to name my rods,
and this one is named after a nice little stream in PA where this one will get used often...

Wow looks great.
I love small glass rods for small streams. Kinda nice to slow things down when the rod is that short.
