For all of you waiting for "The One" Signature III 6'10" 3pc 1wt blank, it is back in stock!
Also arrived with the 1wt was out FRSIII8022 and the FT863-2 do it all blank.
Please feel free to call or e-mail with your order.

Due to popular demand, we are planning a T shirt for the 1wt saying "Got 1?" and our logo and other info on the shirt back. Any input would be wonderful.
Thanks,

Dan Craft

YEAH DAN!
Glad you are making them!

Ideas....

Make up some sort of fun, signed, 'Certificate of Authenticity and Membership' into the club, to go along with the shirt.
I'm sure there are many here who have the sense of humor to chime in and come up with something brilliant.
It would be a nice thing to pin up in the shop....a talking piece, so to speak.

On your website....
A Photo page of us in our 'Got 1?' shirts with our trophies....

I'll take a XXL...and gladly pay for it!

Thanks for the 1!
RB

Dan How big of a fly can you throw with a "One"? ( Calm wind, decent caster) Will it cast a lightly tied # 8 deer hair? I would like to use it for bluegill in farm ponds. I'm planning on getting a Dan Craft ... just want the smallest rod that will work for farm pond pan fish. Thanks Steve

Steve,

I'm pretty sure the rod will throw small streamers and nymphs with no trouble.

Pan fish are fun. I use a #14 hook.

Alright, T-shirts! I also second the certificate. Unfortunately, I also need an XXL in the shirt. Surely ball caps will follow for walking around. A patch would be nice to sew onto our fishing shirts or vests. Steve, the ONE is pretty versatile and the RIO PW would throw that bug. However, an #8 is pretty big for bluegill. I would suggest a #12 Goddard caddis.

Cool! I have the 6' 10" Sig III and the 7' Sig IV 6pc. Both work real well for the wild trout in the small streams of the N. GA mountains. The t-shirts sound like a great idea.
