absolutely.

I've got more than a few bent rod shots from here as well though most ss readers have seen them before.
I´m a 5 wt man so... Short 5 wt will be my Stefan Broms made 7½ footer while I mostly fish my own 8½ footer. Both semi-hollw.
3 wt would be my little FE Thomas 6' 8'' taper and for a 7 wt, no doubt my A.J made 8½ footer. Freaking cannon.

For me it's my Winston LT - 6' 9", 3wt - I just love it to bits.
However, a number of my 'chums' have splashed the cash and invested in some rather beautiful cane .... I feel an urge coming on.

My best stick, one I've been longing for for a long time, and was finally able to acquire for a paltry sum, is the Sage TXL Double Ought. The light, soft landing line, delicate presentations, and length make it the perfect rod for the way I fish, in the places I love.
at 7'10" its longer than most creek rods, but I am of the school that line control is everything, and the best length in a small stream is the longest you can get away with. 7'10" is about that length for me.
Anyway, that's my best stick. (though stick is giving it a bit much credit... lets call it twig)
My friend has the 00 weight and my nephew has the 0 and 000, I've had a play with them all and they're very nice.
Because there's not a full normal line weight between each rod I expected them all to be much of a muchness but while I found minimal difference between the 00 and 000 I found swapping to the 0 was very noticable. The 0 has noticably more backbone and casts like a heavier line rod, faster as well, I thought (in casting action) the other two were very like the SPL 1wt I used to own. I've never tried the 1 or 2 weights but I'd love to.
Huge fun to fish with all of them.
Well worth the wait Ray :bigthumb: I'm a little envious :mrgreen:
My favourite is my Schliske 3wt well 3-4wt but for my fishing style and waters I like it best with a WF3.
A couple of my latest additions are my current favourites for the streams.
8'-0" 4-5wt Chapman rare split cane rod from the late sixties, a "Di Maggio"
6'-6" 4-5 wt fibre glass rod built on a Hardy Jet blank.
Bill :)
I have a Cabela's Clear Creek 1 wt with a Hardy Flyweight that is pretty nice.
But I think my fav is a St Croix 2 wt with a very old CFO 1.
Soft and sweet.
