Chuck: I do not have a series one rod, but it is MUCH slower than
either of my Pro series rods. They claim it was made to cast with only
five feet of line past the tip of the rod. I know that it casts well
that way and also great up to about 45 feet for me. That is about as
far as I cast anything. They should be available to try in a shop near
you soon. I got an e-mail from Waldo and he said they were in and he
was looking forward to fishing them.

Excellent, thanks for the info, BD. Sounds like it would be just
the ticket for those NC streams. Now, do I get a 4-wt. to fill that gap
in my arsenal, or do I buy another 3-wt.?

I am not a good one to advise on the subject of 3 weight rods. I quit
counting the 3 weight rods I have several years ago and continue to buy
the ones I like. I have one designated 4 weight rod and another that
works best with a 4 weight line, but it was supposed to be a 2 weight
rod. I guess I keep buying 3 weight rods because I have several reels
with different 3 weight lines that I use .

I just like the damn things.

Sounds like you have your problem of shuttle solved. However, I solve
the problem by getting out either at Orange Blossom or at town and
calling a cab. $20

It really depends on the size of rhodos you plan to catch. If you want to go
out a little farther to catch maples and poplars you probably should get a
little heavier rod.

Shouldn't I also get a longer rod?
