Aloha Luke and I will be in Montana in July and we like to fish small streams like this one. My previous small stream rod is a 6'6" TFO finesse model. It is nice but I just got the new TFO 1/2 wt rod and reel combo. The rod is 5' and would be perfect for tight spaces and bushy streams.

It will make hooking little dinks like this seem like an Ulua!

The reel is a BVK 0 and is a large arbor but only a click and pawl model.

The rod is built on the finesse taper and is accurate at close range, 5-30 feet. I loaded it with an Orvis superfine 1 wt line and it will cast up to about 60 feet. I think Luke and I will be fighting over who gets to use this one in Big Sky country on those litle feeder streams. Wish us luck in July, Mems.
