A few pics of the new rod, 11' 3wt. for trout and maybe steel head. the reel is a redington AL 3/4 with 125 yds of gel spun. Still deciding on what Rio line, most likely a double taper..

high stick nymphing, wet fly fishing, egg dunking for steel, and dry fly on Pine Creek.

Sandfly,
Hi i like this except for it being a 3 wt, is this available as a 4 or preferably a 5 wt? I love swinging softhackles an drfiting nymphs an if its a medium action it would make a great length streamer rod. Pm the details,Btw i think a Rio Trout Lt double taper or a Wulff Triangle taper would work really well for you. Tight Wraps & Tight Lines Rick Wallace

Quote: Sandy, a 3wt for steelhead? you're pretty wild but thats wild for even you. It would be like fishing a noodle rod it can be done, the reel holds 125 yds. of gel spun so there is plenty to play a fish.. Quote: Is that from Angler's Roost? You know the one I've been contemplating? E-bay rods by "roger" seem to be pretty decent on the softer side though...price was to good to pass 25.00 for the blank..

Nice looking rod Sandfly! Is that a custom grip? I might just be the pictures but it looks longer than usual with very little taper.

no worse than a noodle rod with bait. try it ya might be amazed..lee wulff used small rods on atlantic salmon, so why not steel. I used a 5' 4wt for musky one year fiberglass at that..still have the rod too..got a pic of a 10 lb. carp on same rod.....
