Five Rivers Sig. V 904-4, 905-4, and 966-4

I will put these in the database but, for those who can't wait, here are the CCS data for the new 4pc. Sig. V models Dan mentioned last week:

904-4 3.57/60
6'10" 3pc. 3.42/58 (904-4 w/ dropped butt)


905-4 4.90/61
6'10" 3pc. 4.90/57 (905-4 w/ dropped butt)


966-4 5.65/65
7'2" 3pc. 5.35/60 (966-4 w/ dropped butt)

I provide the 3pc. data not only for those interested in shorter rods but to provide a bit more of the "big picture" on each blank. They are natural graphite color but have a very attractive clear coat on them. There are no specs written on the blanks so I assume Dan will probably sell them with decals. Enjoy. I haven't had the chance to build one yet but hope to soon.

Thanks Steve!

Interesting to note that the ERN's of the new models are a bit lower across the board for each line weight than the previous 3pc models of a similar length.For example,the ERN's of the 8ft9 4wt and 9ft 5wt 3pc SIG V's blanks that are listed in the data base are in the 5.5 - 6.5 range,compared to 3.57 and 4.9.

That 966-4 sounds like a PERFECT stillwater trout rod.
