Bo thanks for watching our content. I love the 5.5 foot length. It’s perfect for a lot of small water with lots of Rhodo. We are gonna fish it hard and I really hope it makes out to other blue liners like yourself.

You could definitely fish a 2 on it. Really it’s about having enough mass in the line to bow and arrow cast well and make short roll cast. It’s hot off the press and we will definitely fish it with both. I am excited to see how it cast in tight conditions with several different lines and most importantly how it feels with a fish on. If it’s anything like the 6.5 and 7.5 foot S glass it’s gonna be amazing.

momentum is mass x velocity. force is mass x acceleration. The important thing here is mass. a zero weight or 1 weight fly line has little mass and must have velocity to give it momentum. You dont have a lit of time to cast a short distance, so we need some extra mass (fly line) to make it happen. Thats my scientific answer as the designer. In addition, its hard to roll cast a fly with a line that weights almost nothing. I find a 3 weight to be a nice balance. 2 weight is good too. JP

I have had clients in the past use that rod. It gets the job done for sure. Always good to have you Jim.
