I built a 5'6 fly rod for my son, I have a great time casting it it is a fast 4, The deal is by practicing for max distance, roll,accuracy. I can cast it about 35 ft. The transfer to a 9ft rod of all different kinds. is awsome. best practice ever, plus I can fish in some very tight places with the little rod..

A few years ago, I underwent surgery for Parkinson's disease. My condition was so bad that I gave all of my fly rods to a fishing pal of mine in order to stop them from getting broken by me. All except an old 5 foot fiberglass travel rod. That little rod created some of the tightest loops I have ever produced and with incredible line speed too! Fishing in the bush has never been so much fun.

The surgery was a success.

Watch out fish!
