Re: latest fly rod build
The black with maroon is a 9 foot 4 weight. The blue one is my Sage Xi3, and its a redfish slaying machine. it is a 9foot 9 weight, with the spline on the inside of the rod, its not quite as accurate casting, but it will pull 60 feet of line off the water, and lay it back down again and even shooting a little bit from there, also having the spline down the inside provides more umph for fish fighting, much like a bait caster is set up. I do build conventional stuff, in fact that is where i started.
