New rod


I have just completed my new rod. It is 6' 6" long and designed for 4 weight line.

Instead of using one from already existing tapers, I played around stress-curves on a computer to determine the taper I want this time.

It was a guess work but it turned out to be very good.
I took the rod to a park this afternoon to have a short casting session, and I am very pleased with the rod action so far.

I will ask my friends to cast the rod on the weekend, and I will write more about its casting feel then.


シーズン最後の日には間に合いませんでしたが、新しい竿が完成です。6フィート半の4番です。
