Tom , Thanks for the info
I meant hexagraph


If the rod you mean is Walt Powell's Hexagraph then one could not make
a worse choice in a fly rod. They were, without a doubt, the worst
casting rod I've ever had the unfortunate experience of casting.

The design concept for the rod is fundamentally flawed.


That was my experience as well. I cast one that Walt sent me
and promptly sent it back.

I don't know if Bruce & Walker is still making the Hexagraph
or not but the Bruce & Walker Hexagraphs Walt Powell was
bringing to the US were broomsticks. Supposedly they're better
now but I wouldn't know about that.
