Short Story About Two 6-footers (Part 1)
I have been working on two 6-footers recently. This is the first of the two builds, a 6' 3/4wt just completed on the imported 3pc blank. Pretty much a standard build, with ventilated 5.5" Ritz grip and a downlocking seat. The little rod has a quick, dry fly action.
