You should look at Elkhorn, they are made in Colorado, we have a 10 wt and a couple of 3 wt, like them all.

Folks:This is sorta hypothetical but here goes..One of these days I'd like to get myself (or maybe my wife or kids will get it for me) a good , quality fly rod (and reel)..My question is, if you have never tried a certain rod, how on earth could you ever order one online and get what you want??? My case in point is that I have four "cheap", "Inexpensive" whatever word you want to use 5 wt rods...All say 5wt, yet a cpl are as stiff and heavy as a 2 by 4..(and they both say MEDIUM action) One is limber as a wet noodle. (and I cannot cast a fly that weighs over 1/10,000th of an ounce with this one)..Then the one I use is "Just right".. VERY lightweight..I can cast flies from a #18 Midge, to a Size #2 or so bass bug. Pretty slow action, it's just what I like.. Course it's what I am most used to also... Thing is, if one were gonna order a rod online, are you "shooting in the dark"??? If you have never actually tried out a certain rod???? If I ever do get the money to buy such a rod, i think I'll take the time to drive to Birmingham or Atlanta to "try before I buy", but what if I couldn't make it to one of those places???? Thanks, Chuck
