Bruce, I had a number of people cast my rod, it was one of the first ones they made.They thought it was too slow. It is a 4 WT two piece. I used a WF.4 line but it felt like it would not load. Then went to a WF 5 Rio Line. This seemed to overload the rod. Tried a WF 5 Canadian line that Dorber carries, this felt about right. Planned on staying with it till I made the trip to Florida. Stopped to visit my friend and we cast the rod wih a DT 4 Rio Slective Trout line. The rod came to life. It does cast like bamboo and bamboo does best on DT taper Lines. Got one for my rod now. My friend in Flotida was so impressed with the rod , he ordered a 4 wt 4 piece. He will be at the Sowbug if you want to talk to him. Tony
