My my two sweeties are a 2nd gen blue halo's in 3 & 5wts,,,, have some other custom rods but these I love.

I was a dyed-in-the-wool flyfisher many years ago. We fished a perfectly clear spring creek not far away, and it had super wary trout. We'd have to us 2lb leaders, and make downstream casts. These were good-sized fish, too. The only rods that were limber enough to not snap leaders were the old Fenwick 7' yellow fiberglass blanks. We always built our own rods in those days. You could tie a leader to a solid object, and those rods were in capable of breaking one.
