It simply has too weak of a tip to be a great streamer stick in my opinion. I would personally choose a 7wt Meridian or an 8wt Radian if it was me.Fly Fishing Reels Classifieds. 50 POST RULE!

Today, the early Powell bamboo rods easily can sell for $2,000. But fly-fishers form a tightly knit group in which three generations of Powells hold seats of honor. When rods from imported bamboo first started being made in the United States, between 1910 and 1920, most came out of production rod companies.

The 7'6" - 8' 6" +/- class of 3wt (and 4wt rods too) of current production rods are, fortunately for us, some of the nicest rods that have ever been produced. I fished, arguably, two of Winston's finest models, an 8' 3wt and 8' 4wt IM6's for more years than I can count. These rods were, and are, wonderful, specialized, fishing tools.

One thing to realize about ultralight fly rods and their lines is that the stepdown increment gets smaller as the line weights get lighter. So the effective difference down to a 0-weight isn't much from a 1-weight. Actually, the increment from a 2-weight to a 0-weight is about the same as from a 3-weight to a 2-weight.

Sort-of an “A” shape, if that makes sense.

Nov 3, 2023 · My "indicator" is split about 50/50 between a hopper type fly or a yarn/wool tuft. I may change the leader set up - sometimes - but not the main fly line.
